Anthony Trollope

Meet Septimus Harding, the gentle, cello-playing Warden of Hiram's Hospital, a cozy almshouse for indigent old men. For years, he's enjoyed a comfortable, if modest, living from this ecclesiastical sinecure, his duties light, his conscience clear. Until, that is, a fiery young reformer, Dr. John Bold (who also happens to be sweet on Harding's daughter), unearths a centuries-old will and declares the Warden's stipend an unjust misappropriation of funds meant for the poor. What follows is a deliciously nuanced battle played out in the Victorian press, the hallowed halls of the Church, and, most poignantly, within Harding's own scrupulous heart.
