""It Is Never Too Late To Mend"" is a novel written by Charles Reade in 1856. The story revolves around a wealthy farmer named William Meadows who is accused of cheating his workers out of their wages. His nephew, George Fielding, is in love with his daughter, Mary, and is torn between his loyalty to his family and his desire to do what is right. When Meadows is found guilty and sent to prison, he vows revenge on those who testified against him. George and Mary are forced to flee the area and start a new life, but Meadows is determined to track them down. The novel explores themes of justice, morality, and redemption, and is considered a classic of Victorian literature.""Nor would it be polite or generous; but this of yours is a deep grief, and alarms me for you. Shall I tell you how I know? You often yawn and often sigh; when these two things come together at your age they are signs of a heavy grief; then it comes out that you have lost your relish for things that once pleased you. The first day I came here you told me your garden had been neglected of late, and you blushed in saying so.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
