The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle Volume 2 Chapter 98 - part 4

In which a young gentleman emerges from bondage and naval service to assert a noble birthright long suppressed by a cruel uncle, whose machinations extend from legal intrigues to deadly conspiracies. The tale unfolds with the steadfast aid of a benevolent patron and the power of truth gradually winning the hearts and minds of witnesses and neighbours alike, despite the relentless efforts of a powerful faction to stifle justice by every artifice known to law and malice.
