The Poor Man and the Lady
The Poor Man and the Lady was the first novel written by Thomas Hardy. It was written in 1867 and never published. After the manuscript had been rejected by at least five publishers, Hardy gave up his attempts to sell the novel in its original form; however, he incorporated some of its scenes and themes into later works, notably in the poem "The Poor Man and the Lady" and in the novella An Indiscretion in the Life of an Heiress (1878).
The manuscript no longer exists; Hardy destroyed the last surviving fragment during his last years, after abandoning the idea of reconstructing the rest of the novel from memory.

gollark: Columns are declared in order *too*, but that really shouldn't be relied in like the python API does.
gollark: In SQLite they do actually, there's an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY rowid column unless you disable that explicitly.
gollark: Which is still HIGHLY dodecahedral and dependent on columns' order.
