Description: John Barnard, a leading merchant living in East Anglia on the British Coast, is a pillar of 19th century rectitude. Though stern with his tippling wife, he is undermined by helpless love for his cold-hearted daughter and the engaging weakling Thomas Kettle. His attempt to control the lives of his many children does not work out well.
