This is a bizarre story (for Caroline Warfield) about a couple who separated eleven years ago. Georgette's family is atrocious towards her -- a thoroughly unlikeable family. Groegette's love interest, Andrew, returns from the Napoleonic Wars with grave injuries. Of course, he went because Georgette's family thought he was too base-born for their daughter.

She and a new doctor help Andrew recover to the point where he may continue his work as a soldier-scholar in Cambridge. Georgette, a bluestocking, wants his help as a Greek scholar to help her unravel some lesser Greek women poets. He agrees reluctantly, but her family interferes.

This story was agonizingly slow and tedious. This is not one of my favorites.
