Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Last Call: A Romance (Vol. 2 of 3)" by Richard Dowling is a romantic novel written in the late 19th century. The story features complex characters embroiled in dramatic situations, notably focusing on Dora Harrington and her grandfather, Lionel Crawford, who are navigating a web of relationships, secrets, and the pursuit of a hidden treasure. Central to the plot are themes of familial bonds, love, and the implications of wealth, particularly as characters grapple with personal hardship and societal expectations. At the start of this volume, readers are introduced to a tense and emotional moment as Dora discovers she is receiving financial help from her grandfather, but she is also faced with the anxiety of her fiancé, Lavirotte, being unwell. The narrative explores her internal conflict and determination to journey to Ireland to see him. As the plot unfolds, Lavirotte's past entanglements and aspirations for a fortune become entwined with Dora's fate, setting the stage for further developments in their romantic entanglements. The tension is heightened by the broader implications of a financial disaster affecting the surrounding community, which threatens the stability of the families involved. The continuation promises richer explorations of love and sacrifice amidst the backdrop of societal upheaval.
