Thorndyke Manor is an old house, near the mouth of the Thames,
which is convenient, on account of its secret vaults and situation,
as the base of operations in a Jacobite conspiracy. In consequence
its owner, a kindly, quiet, book-loving squire, who lives happily
with his sister, bright Mistress Amoril, finds himself suddenly
involved by a treacherous steward in the closest meshes of the
plot. He is conveyed to the Tower, but all difficulties are
ultimately overcome, and his innocence is triumphantly proved by
his sister.
