Samenvatting

Stephen Glennard, a man facing financial ruin, finds himself unable to marry the woman he loves. Desperate to secure his future, he makes a damaging choice: he sells intimate letters that were written to him by Margaret Aubyn. Margaret Aubyn is a deceased, celebrated author who had once pursued Stephen. The transaction provides him with the means to recover financially and ultimately marry. Yet the consequences of what he has done weigh heavily on him, as his growing sense of guilt threatens to undermine the very happiness his decision has made possible.
