The plot follows the story of Squire Edgar Arden, his sister Clare, and their poor cousin Arthur Arden. Although Squire Edgar is a model landlord and brother, he does not seem to belong to the Arden Family. His father had treated him with contempt until his death, making some in the community doubt his
legitimacy. In the end, the mystery of Edgar's past is revealed, with the aid of old letters hidden in a bureau and a visitor who is unusually interested in the
Ardens' lives.
