A steady village carpenter loves a vain young farm girl who is seduced instead by the local squire, and when her ruin ends in a dead infant and a death sentence, he turns at last to the quiet preacher who has loved him all along.

With a single drop of ink for a mirror, the Egyptian sorcerer undertakes to reveal to any chance comer far-reaching visions of the past.
Adam Bede, George Eliot
