St. Elmo

Evans writes an interesting tale of love and redemption, taking place in the latter part of the 19th century. Edna, an orphan, is essentially adopted by a kind-souled woman who lives with her fantastically wealthy son, St. Elmo. The woman, Mrs. Murray, has Edna educated by a kindly old pastor. Edna is a most studious pupil, and learns voraciously. Edna also takes quite an aversion to St. Elmo, who, when he is around, is thoroughly sullen and unsavory.
