Publisher's Synopsis
""Mr. Gilfil's Love Story"" is a novel by George Eliot that tells the story of a kind-hearted clergyman named Maynard Gilfil and his unrequited love for a beautiful young woman named Tina. Set in rural England in the early 19th century, the novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and social class. As the story unfolds, readers are introduced to a cast of characters including the manipulative Sir Christopher Cheverel, the proud and haughty Lady Cheverel, and the loyal and devoted servant Dinah Morris. Through the eyes of these characters, Eliot paints a vivid portrait of life in a small English village and the complex relationships that exist within it. With its richly drawn characters and compelling plot, ""Mr. Gilfil's Love Story"" is a timeless work of literature that continues to captivate readers today.Even dirty Dame Fripp, who was a very rare church-goer, had been to Mrs Hackit to beg a bit of old crape, and with this sign of grief pinned on her little coal-scuttle bonnet, was seen dropping her curtsy opposite the reading-desk. This manifestation of respect towards Mr Gilfil's memory on the part of Dame Fripp had no theological bearing whatever. It was due to an event which had occurred some years back, and which, I am sorry to say, had left that grimy old lady as indifferent to the means of grace as ever.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
