Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Lucius Davoren; or, Publicans and Sinners, vol. 3" by M. E. Braddon is a novel written in the mid to late 19th century. The story appears to focus on themes of love, mystery, personal sacrifice, and the haunting consequences of the past, with Lucius Davoren and his circle, including Geoffrey Hossack, Janet, and Lucille, as central figures. The drama unfolds amidst romantic struggles, emotional turmoil, hidden crimes, and the quest for justice—likely offering readers a blend of domestic intrigue and suspense. The opening of the novel alternates between two storylines: Geoffrey Hossack's discontented attendance at a country garden party, which soon shifts to a joyful reunion with Janet and her daughter Flossie in a peaceful village, and Lucius Davoren's anxious efforts to protect Lucille and her grandfather within the mysterious confines of Cedar House. Geoffrey's deep longing for Janet and the uncertain fate of her husband drive their conversation, revealing lingering doubts and emotional obstacles. Meanwhile, Lucius navigates a labyrinth of suspicion, past violence, and unresolved secrets as he investigates threats and strange happenings in the old house, including mysterious visitors and possible plots against the family. Throughout these opening chapters, the narrative weaves together romantic yearning, the shadows of former crimes, and persistent questions about loyalty and truth.
