... uncle and an inconsiderate lover. Two brothers supply the romantic interest - Robert Moore owns a mill and his brother Louis is tutor to the Keeldar family. Robert is in love with Caroline, as she is with him, but because he desperately needs money he proposes to Shirley, who happens to have pots of the stuff! It's hard to warm to someone who can ignore his own feelings and risk the happiness of someone he, alledgedly, cares for. Caroline, however, undoubtedly loves him and it nearly kills her. Until she ...more
