| What this story is about |
| "Everyone has, at least, one novel in him," and Archdeacon Roach puts this theory to the test.
He writes what proves to be a "best seller"; but cannot reveal his authorship and, at the same time, preserve his Archidiaconal dignity. Bisham Dunkle, a poet, accepts responsibility for the book; but demands not only the Archdeacon's consent to his marriage to his daughter Chloe; but a settlement of seven hundred pounds a year, and all the royalties the book earns. The Archdeacon loathes Dunkle; but surrenders, and the pseudo-author enjoys his success and popularity until his publisher and public commence pressing for another book. |
