The eve of the American Revolution serves as the backdrop to this novel, set in Boston and focusing on the story of a Scot transported over to the colonies, Stewart Jameson. We begin with our well meaning hero barely escaping from Scotland with his life and his dog, owing two thousand pounds to some creditors for a debt we soon learn was incurred to pay for the life of his dear friend, Ignatius Alexander.
As Jameson starts to sort his way out in Boston, he finds his painters apprentice in Francis Weston, aka Fanny Easton, the fallen daughter of a justice, Edward Easton. We as the reader know that Weston and Easton are indeed the same person, but poor Jameson is ignorant to the true identity of his apprentice, and what ensues is an amusing story of their beginning together. It seems like a bit of blindness on his part, as Ignatius Alexander does indeed show up, and he seems to be able to figure that riddle out pretty quickly...
