From The Spectator (3 October 1885): “We may rely upon Mr. Gibbon . . . to give us an interesting and wholesome story . . . Sir George Kerr, a nouveau riche, the desire of whose heart it is to become connected with the peerage, takes up the cause of one Wardlaw, who claims to be the representative of an earldom that is supposed to be extinct, with the idea that the Earl, his dignity once attained, will marry his daughter. The daughter, however, has, it will be guessed, other things in her head, and the usual complications follow.”
