Doctor Herriott's Daughter

There had always been antagonism between Doctor Charles Herriott and his daughter. Jemima knew that he blamed her for her mother's death, and resented the fact that only she, and none of his three sons, wanted to follow him into medicine. For a long time Doctor Herriott utterly refused to allow it, and when he agreed to Jemima becoming a nurse in the hospital where he worked, it was on the condition that she keep their relationship secret. So Jemima had started her career with enough difficulties ahead of her, even before she managed to fall in love with the most unsuitable man in the place!
