...sketch of the plot, a re-reading of the title, "The Return of Peter Grimm" will almost suffice. Peter Grimm is an eccentric, rich flower gardener who boasts of his old Dutch ancestry. In his household are his ward. Catherine, a nephew and a secretary. For the life of each Peter Grimm has a set plan, made without consulting the persons most concerned in its fulfilment.
