The Woodlanders

The timber merchant George Melbury spares no expense in educating his only daughter, Grace. She was away from home for one year, and he is eagerly awaiting her return. Giles Winterborne, a traveling farmer and apple grower, also looks forward to Grace's homecoming. Mr. Melbury wronged Giles's father many years before; to atone for this, he half promises Giles that he should have Grace for his wife. When Grace returns, it is immediately evident that she is much too cultured and refined for the ways of a simple farmer. However, Grace knows that her father promised her to Giles, and she means to go through with it even though she shrinks a little from his plainness. Mr. Melbury is the most concerned. He is an honorable man and likes Giles, but he loves his only child above everything else. He cannot bear to see her throw herself away when she can marry better.
