Anne is left in the care of two strong men after her father, Mr. Whitefield, is sent into the next world: John Tanner, and Roback Ramdsen. The latter was a venerable old man who distrusted the young yet eloquent Tanner. John was an ardent follower of the ideology of anarchism.

Nevertheless, Anne accepts the young man as her own guardian, although Tanner himself does not wish to play such a role. Moreover, the lady tries to change John’s political views by bringing her ideas into his life. The young man is unable to resist the charms of the protagonist, and she eventually convinces him to marry her. Mr. Whitefield’s daughter had another annoying suitor, Octavius Robinson, but the girl preferred his friend, who was the aforementioned anarchist.
