Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from One Maiden Only, Vol. 2 of 3
It serves him right, said Giles; I hope he'll die like a dog. I wouldn't throw him a crust if it would save his life.
Giles felt himself avenged by his loud, coarse words, for all Hartley's assumptions of superior virtue Mr. Moncton did not take much pains to respond to his son's ih dignation; but, after brooding ever so long he said, as to himself, A fool the fellow is, to have thrown away such a splendid chance as that. No body wanted him to marry the child if he would but have let her alone.
