El protagonista de este relato es, sin duda, el generoso y algo pedante vicario Primrose, un enamorado padre de familia que Goldsmith describe con tanto humor como ternura.Su ruina económica desencadena una tormenta de calamidades sobre él y los suyos –amores no correspondidos, secuestros, duelos–, que deberán afrontar antes de un desenlace inesperado y repentino.Son tantas las desgracias que parece imposible que Primrose sea capaz de afrontarlas. Pero él es paciente, no pierde la esperanza y siempre confía en que todo terminará bien. 10
