Sally Dent’s new lodger pays a fortnight in advance and behaves like a real gentleman, even on the nights he comes home drunk. Around him the story weaves village gossip, a mischievous boy named Gus who hides where he should not, a young girl’s friendship, sickness, revenge and the hard work of living up to a good name.
