  • "Geoffrey Hunter, the "royal gentleman" in the title, is a Southern lawyer. His father owns a female slave Toinette, who has only a trace of African blood. Geoffrey helps her get an education and freedom. The two become intimately involved and thereafter Geoffrey goes off to fight in the Civil War where he is wounded. Toinette nurses him back to health and he proposes they resume their intimacies, but she insists on marriage. Geoffrey refuses to marry her and they both part company and lead sorrowful lives."
  • "Published in 1881, this novel is a retitled expansion of Tourgée's first novel 'Toinette, which appeared in 1874. In the author's words, from the preface, the novel traces . . . those unconscious influences which shape and mold mental and moral qualities, and through which Slavery still lives and dominates."
