Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"In Love's Hands; or, For Her Heart's Sake" by Bertha M. Clay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story opens as it introduces the main character, Frank Dormer, who is at the beautiful Heriton Priory in Northumberland, about to embark on a voyage to India. As he spends time with Florence Heriton, the only daughter of the estate's owners, a budding friendship evolves, contrasted against Mr. Heriton's unsettling financial troubles and the family's precarious situation. At the start of the narrative, we find Frank Dormer in a moment of contemplation and impending departure from England, reflecting on his orphaned upbringing and the joy he has found in his time at the priory. He and young Florence share a playful interaction before she accidentally puts herself in danger while exploring a cliff near the river. Frank saves her from a life-threatening fall, intensifying their bond and setting up their relationship's emotional depth as he prepares to leave. Additionally, Mr. Heriton shows increasing strain from financial mismanagement, casting a shadow on Florence’s innocence as her father’s worsening situation looms over the household dynamics.
