In which an industrious young gentleman returns from the distant diamond-fields with fortune in hand, only to find the lady he loves destined for another, under the watchful guardianship of a stern and protective companion. Amid silences and unspoken sorrows, the tangled matters of affection and honour are delicately and sombrely laid bare within the quiet walls of Croker's Hall.
