Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Fatal Three, Vol. I" by M. E. Braddon is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the lives of John and Maud Fausset, a couple whose seemingly happy marriage is challenged by the introduction of an orphaned girl named Fay. The Faussets’ domestic life is further complicated by the social intrigues and obligations of the time, setting the stage for potential conflict and drama. The opening of the book introduces us to the Faussets as they discuss the adoption of Fay, who is between thirteen and fourteen years old. Mrs. Fausset expresses her concerns about the disruption of their happy family life, while Mr. Fausset insists on bringing Fay into their home due to his commitment to her well-being after her mother's death. There is a palpable tension as Maud reluctantly agrees, revealing her jealousy over the potential intrusion into their domestic bliss. The scene reflects a rich complexity of emotions, with the sweet naivety of their seven-year-old daughter, Mildred, who looks forward to a new playmate, contrasting sharply with the adult fears and insecurities unfolding in their household.
