Vivek’s Notes

Being published in the Cornhill Magazine when its author died in 1865; the journalist Frederick Greenwood stepped in to provide a conclusion. Some intriguing sexual entanglements in an English provincial town have to be unravelled, and Molly Gibson must surely be rewarded with marriage to the squire's deserving son, Roger.
