Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Lady's Walk" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a picturesque setting in Scotland, centering around various characters within the Campbell family, particularly Charlotte Campbell and her mysterious connection to the unseen presence known as the Lady of Ellermore. The plot seems to explore themes of family dynamics, supernatural elements, and personal sacrifice. At the start of the novel, the narrator, Mr. Temple, is visiting friends in Scotland, where he forms a bond with Charlotte Campbell, who has taken on a maternal role in caring for her siblings. The narrative introduces a hint of mystery as Charlotte shares stories of the Lady of Ellermore, whose ghostly footsteps are said to be heard by the family. As the plot progresses, tensions arise surrounding the absence of Charlotte’s brother Colin, culminating in an atmosphere charged with suspense and emotional resonance. The opening sets the stage for deeper explorations of familial love, the weight of expectation, and the specter of tragedy that looms over their idyllic Highland life.
