John falls in love with a young woman, Madge, who is visiting family in the village. Although their relatives try to push the two apart they eventually run off to London where John is arrested and imprisoned. Critical receptionA reviewer in The Courier-Mail found that this "is a book of youth, misunderstood and battered by the blindness and prejudice of the hide-bound middle-aged. Put so baldly, it sounds commonplace, but there is nothing commonplace in the beautifully-written story. It tells with that delicacy of touch that is part of Mr. Martin Boyd's charm."[2] In The Age, the reviewer was rather dismissive, noting: "Mr Boyd needs a bigger and better theme for the display of his literary talents."[3] See also
