Both Abby and Elliott are strong characters and they fall in love easily enough. He considers himself dumb and unlearnable because he can't read or write, although how he can pursue his "investments" without being able to read is beyond me. He is dyslexic and so is his son. Abby is hired as his son's governess and tries to help the boy with his letters. There was no sort of resolution to this "unlearnability" problem because no one knew what dyslexia was back then. It wasn't a bad story it just took too long.
