Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Diana of Kara-Kara" by Edgar Wallace is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story revolves around the life and troubles of Diana Ford, a young woman who is an orphan and possesses a considerable amount of wealth. As various characters discuss her circumstances, it becomes apparent that her perceived freedom may lead to complications, especially concerning her interactions with men and her desire to return to England from Australia. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mr. Collings, Diana's lawyer, who is emotionally invested in her well-being due to her status as an orphan. While Mr. Cathcart, his cynical partner, is unsympathetic and views Diana as a financial burden, Collings defends her character, remarking on her childhood and connections. Diana's vibrant personality shines through as she announces her intention to return to England, expressing excitement and an infatuation with her cousin, Gordon Selsbury. The narrative emphasizes her charming yet willful nature, indicating potential conflicts as she navigates her freedom and relationships in a world that may not be as accommodating as she imagines.
