Publisher's Synopsis
Full text.
The George Eliot's shortest and most obscure work.
Extract: He must give up the notion of his father's legacy; but it was not likely he would ever want that trifle; and even if he did-why, it was a compensation to think that in being for ever divided from his family he was divided from Jacob, more terrible than Gorgon or Demogorgon to David's timid green eyes. Thank heaven, he should never see Jacob any more!
