Hard Pressed

by Fred M. White

When the crash came and Fielden disappeared, May had made no sign, but from that time she was more sedate and seemed to have left her old life and spirits behind her.

"I had not forgotten you," she murmured presently. "We must try to do something for you, Harry. I will speak to father. And then there is Mr. Copley. He has a fine establishment near us and one of the largest racing stables in the kingdom. But you don't know him. He is a South African millionaire who has come into our neighbourhood since your time."

Reviews

[P. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Every one in this book is hard pressed, usually by lack of money, lives going to rack and ruin. The plot is decent but there is a vast amount of uninteresting verbiage that bored, and so got skipped. Happy ending, tho'.
