The story spans the early adult years in the life of Denry Machin. Denry is the entrepreneur of his time, he seizes his opportunities when Lady Luck presents them and using all his inborn charm and wit, not to mention cunning, he climbs the ladder to success. Of course, being so dedicated to his quest, he fails to recognise the true love of gentle Nellie, falling instead for the more obvious charms of the dancing teacher who first paves the way for his meeting with his benefactor, the Countess of Chell. True love wins through as ever and when Denry is made of Bursley, Nellie is by his side. |
