A story of the days of Cardinal Wolsey and the Court of Henry VIII. It will appeal to all who like a good historical romance. The hero, a young esquire, finds Wolsey, when he was but a poor parish priest, in the village pillory and sets him free. When next they meet, Wolsey is the powerful Cardinal, and the hero has been condemned to torture for trying to save the Duke of Buckingham, whose daughter he worships. Wolsey helps the hero and brings him to Court. There are plottings and jealousies and narrow escapes, but in the end Love is triumphant.

Caroline Beech and her mother, with the airs of a duchess who has had to do the work of a cook, and Enoch Wood, the musician who demands fame above all things, and Juniper Sadgrove, with her glorious voice, are the characters whose interplay form the plot of Mrs. Dudeney's latest novel. She has set the scene in her loved Sussex, and her description of the old-world village and its inhabitants is most delightful. Enoch's career is the rock on which the ship of his love may be wrecked, but the development of the story will hold the reader's attention to the last page.
