by Charles Reade

Overview

The title novella was originally written for inclusion in the novel It is Never too Late to Mend (1856) but omitted for artistic considerations, as he believed "a story within a story is a frightful flaw in art." This 1858 collection also contains the short novels Jack of All Trades and A Hero and a Martyr.
