He hides himself in the South of France, where, at the end of his resources, he learns of his cousin\'s betrayal. In desperation he returns to London to find the world set against him. Branded as a thief, he finally succeeds in clearing himself with the aid of a girl he had met in France, who alone had been willing to believe in him in the face of his accusers.In fair to good condition.
