The Understanding of Jenner Ransfield

by Imogen De La Bere

Jenner Ransfield, endowed with a brilliant academic mind, personal magnetism, but no self-control, fumes out his existence on a farm in Somerset, teaching at a lowly Agricultural College, and sporadically tyrannizing his family. Into this dark world beams the pretty Theodora Potts, an Australian veterinary scientist, who knows it all. She intends to study the harvesting of bull semen with the great Dr. Ransfield, but nothing goes according to her plan.
