""Mr. Gilfil's Love Story"" is a novel written by George Eliot, first published in 1857. The story takes place in the late 18th century in a rural English community, and centers around the character of Mr. Gilfil, a kind and generous clergyman who has long been in love with a beautiful and charming young woman named Tina. However, Tina is already engaged to another man, the dashing but unreliable Captain Wybrow. As Mr. Gilfil watches from the sidelines, he must come to terms with his unrequited love and the painful realities of the world around him, including the social and economic constraints that limit his own happiness and the fates of those he cares about. Along the way, the novel explores themes of love, loyalty, duty, and the struggles of everyday life in a changing world. With its vivid characters, richly detailed setting, and powerful emotional resonance, ""Mr. Gilfil's Love Story"" is a timeless classic of English literature that continues to captivate readers today.Even dirty Dame Fripp, who was a very rare church-goer, had been to Mrs Hackit to beg a bit of old crape, and with this sign of grief pinned on her little coal-scuttle bonnet, was seen dropping her curtsy opposite the reading-desk. This manifestation of respect towards Mr Gilfil's memory on the part of Dame Fripp had no theological bearing whatever. It was due to an event which had occurred some years back, and which, I am sorry to say, had left that grimy old lady as indifferent to the means of grace as ever.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
