Back to the Maxwell Gray (Mary Gleed Tuttiett) project: I just read her 1894 novel A Costly Freak.
It concerns an impoverished and rather naive curate, who finds £30 inside his Bible and believes it's an apport put there by God.
A Costly Freak is discussed in my book A Wren-like Note: the life and works of Maxwell Gray (Mary Gleed Tuttiett). See the official site, www.maxwellgray.co.uk

Don't forget all those extra adjectives!
