The Golden Age of Diogenes Lillie and the schoolmaster
A village schoolmaster Harry Warren falls in love with May Lillie daughter of the wealthy Diogenes Lillie. Diogenes pursues a grand poem project and plots to marry May to Harry via a scheme that tests love, pride, and reputation. Harry endures mockery at a Lyceum reading of The Golden Age while May supports him, and Diogenes offers to broker a match for money, prompting vows and a perilous moral dilemma.
