The Patron and the Poet Who Found Love
A young poet named Peter Griffin deserts his humble Nellie for a glamorous patron Lady Anstruther who adopts him as Paul Lawrence. Luxury stifles his muse and he loses his gift, until hunger and memory drive him back to Nellie, where love restores his art. The tale ends with Peter choosing love over fame, while the patron’s vanity remains unspoken.
