This carries on Mr. Phillpotts' series of novels dealing with the human
side of the different industries. Here the art of paper making furnishes
the background. The theme is somewhat humorous in nature. A young wife
picks a quarrel with her husband because he is commonplace, and elopes
with a man of high intellectual ability. Finding him, however, extremely
prosaic and a bore, she is glad in the end to return to her first love.
The elopement, it might be explained, was purely a nominal one, carried
out on a high moral basis with the most tender respect for the lady's
reputation and character. This fact leads to a number of unusual and
frequently amusing situations.
