There were two of them--as unlike as two men could be. Sir Eustace, big, domineering, haughty, used to sweeping all before him with the power of his personality.The other was Stumpy, small, insignificant, quiet, with a little limp.They clashed over the greatest question that may come to men--the love of a girl. She took Sir Eustace just because she could not help herself--and was swept ahead on the tide of his passion. And then, when she needed help most--on the day before the wedding--Stumpy saved her--and the quiet flame of his eyes was more than the brute power of his brother. How did it all come out? Did she choose wisely? Is Greatheart more to be desired than great riches? (#00001489)
