Beskrivelse af The Scarlet Feather
Dick Swinton was like his father, the same gentlemanly spirit combined with a somewhat unpractical mind, which turned to the beautiful and the good, and refused to admit the ugliness of unpleasant facts. Indeed, the young man's position was even more awkward than his father's. As grandson and heir of Richard Herresford much was expected of him. Everybody did not know that the rich old man was such a miser that, after paying for his grandson's education, at his daughter's persuasion, he allowed him only a thousand dollars a year, and persistently refused to disburse this sum until it was dragged from him by Mrs. Swinton. The rector turned over the leaves of the account-books, and sighed heavily. "It's no use," he cried, at last. "I can't make them up. They are in a hopeless muddle.

"Bankrupt, John!" his wife murmured, languidly raising her brows. "You are exaggerating.
