Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Girl He Married, Vol. 1 Thus ran the brief but startling telegram which was delivered late in the evening: - "Dr. Feverley, Blairavon, to Lennard Blair, Liverpool. "Come home by the first train. A crisis is at hand. Your father cannot survive much longer." From Liverpool to Blairavon, in Scotland, is more than one hundred and sixty miles by rail, the only mode of conveyance now, and poor Lennard Blair thought nervously of his chances of being at home in time to see - before the fatal moment - that parent to whom he was so tenderly attached; and in a rapid and bewildered manner, acting as one might do in a dream, he thrust a few necessary articles into a carpet bag, preparatory to starting by the night express train for Carlisle and the North. He glanced at his watch; he had already lost two hours, during which the telegram had been waiting for him, while he had kept several business engagements between the counting-house and the Huskisson Dock. In those two hours what might he not have lost! and from amid the bustle of Liverpool, and the roar of its busy streets, his memory flashed home to his fathers secluded mansion in Lothian.
