Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Starvecrow Farm" by Stanley John Weyman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around Henrietta, a young woman who has eloped with her lover, Stewart, and is evading pursuit while on their way to a new life. However, their journey becomes fraught with unexpected dangers and revelations that challenge Henrietta’s romantic ideals and ultimately threaten her happiness. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Henrietta and Stewart traveling in a postchaise as they navigate through the perilous quicksands on the Lancashire coast. Their interactions reveal a mix of youthful excitement and underlying tension as Henrietta grapples with the weight of their choices and the uncertainty of their future together. As they approach the inn where they plan to stay, hints of danger loom, not just from possible pursuers but also from secrets that Stewart harbors. This sets the stage for a story filled with romance, conflict, and social commentary against the backdrop of early 19th-century England, leaving readers eager to discover how Henrietta's adventure unfolds and what challenges she will face.
