Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Man with a Shadow" by George Manville Fenn is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the Salis family, particularly Leo Salis and her interactions with other characters, including her brother Hartley, Dally Watlock, a maid at the Rectory, and Tom Candlish, the young man with whom Leo seems to have a complicated relationship. The narrative hints at themes of familial duty, romantic entanglements, and societal expectations. At the start of the novel, Dally Watlock finds herself in a troubling situation after being kissed by Tom Candlish, which raises the suspicions of her mistress, Leo Salis. Leo, frustrated by this incident and her brother’s protective instincts, shows determination to confront Candlish over his behavior. Meanwhile, the story unfolds in a pastoral setting where brother Hartley strives to maintain decorum within the household while dealing with challenges related to the family's status and expectations. The opening chapters establish a dynamic of conflict, jealousy, and personal struggle that sets the stage for the developments to come.
