A story of small-town intrigue that begins with a large sum of money being entrusted and then mysteriously disappearing. Rachel Louise Fleckring works for the elderly Mrs Maldon, and although with the woman for only a short time, she is taken into the heart of the family. She falls in love with one of Mrs Maldon's descendents, but along the way, she has to come to terms with the fact that he isn't, perhaps, the perfectly honest man she thought he was. The novel was extremely popular and one of Bennett's greatest successes.
