At Llwyn-yr-Allt, heiress Ethel Carton is robbed of her prized jewels. A local collier and poacher is accused, but the real culprit is Sylvester, a gentleman and shady financier. The villain goes unsuspected until he falls for the headstrong yet moral Welsh heroine Imogen Rhys.The "unconscious influence" of Ethel and her young cousin Imogen inspires both love and goodness despite diversion and danger in a sensational, dramatic dnouement.Sixteenth in the Honno Classics series.By the author of The Rebecca Rioter, Honno's most popular classic. First published in 1883, this example of Welsh writing in English will appeal to those interested in 19th century South Wales and the faintly disguised Swansea (Cwm-Eithin).A forerunner of the New Woman, the semi-autobiographical heroine resolves to reconcile her personal liberty with social duty.
