The Man Who Kept His Money In A Box

The Man Who Kept His Money In A Box is a novel written by Anthony Trollope. The story revolves around a wealthy and miserly old man named Mr. Scarborough, who keeps all his money in a box. His only relative, his nephew Augustus, hopes to inherit his uncle's wealth, but Mr. Scarborough is determined to leave his money to a distant relative, Miss Trefoil. Augustus, desperate for money, hatches a plan to marry Miss Trefoil and inherit the fortune. However, Miss Trefoil has her own ideas and is determined to marry for love, not money. The novel explores themes of greed, love, and the consequences of one's actions.

That one which she represented as being smaller than the others, and as holding jewellery, might be about a yard long by a foot and a half deep.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
