He is the man who takes baby to h

This story intertwines with that of Alexander Ashbrook and his friend Thomas Ledbury. The two boys are avid fans of music and have a great talent for singing, particularly Alexander. Although Thomas is from a poor background, he spends one of his holidays at Ashbrook, Alexander's home. Here he meets Isobel, Edward and Alice, Alexander's siblings, and Melissa Milcote, the pretty daughter of Isobel's governess.

Alexander's father does not approve of his ambition to follow music as a profession and disinherits him. Alexander sleeps with Melissa and promises to marry her before running away. Meshak has noticed Melissa and believes she is "his angel". Thomas returns to the cathedral and meanwhile Melissa is pregnant, though she does not realise it until a servant tells her. She gives birth to a boy, whom her mother tells her is dead. However, Meshak takes the boy to the Foundling Hospital.

Eight years later, following the story of Alexander and Melissa's son (who has been named Aaron by the hospital) and his African friend, Toby, both of whom want to find their parents.
