To the horror of  young gravedigger, Ned, body-snatchers have been visiting his churchyard in the dead of night.  Until now, he’d been daydreaming about another visitor -  daughter of the manor,  Obedience  Wellrest.

But 16-year-old Obedience has troubles  of  her own: her loving but overbearing father, and  his wish to see her married to  a rich man of science,  Phineas Mordaunt.
