Synopsis: Minerva, a self-made Cinderella, is aglow with sacrificial fervor, which alternates with a longing to continue living as the responsible daughter of the large family at the vicarage. However, she is to have a season in London, which she finds in violent collision with her personal code of morality. Her attempts to impose her ideas on others make enemies, and when she does realize she is truly in love with a man, these enemies act, forcing him to fight a duel. Not content with that, the man who challenged Lord Sylvester Comfrey manages to alienate Minerva from him by means of an anonymous letter and a page of an altered betting book. The vicar, at first resigned to his penniless state, compounded by the debt for Minerva's season in London, finds her unhappiness intolerable and sets out to remedy the situation.
