Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Mynns' Mystery" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with a tense scene involving Gertrude Bellwood, a young woman, and Saul Harrington, who exhibits aggressive and unwanted advances towards her, revealing the dark undercurrents of their relationship. It hints at themes of love, deception, and potential inheritance drama, intertwined with the mysterious fate of Gertrude's long-lost fiancé, George Harrington. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Gertrude and her strained encounter with Saul Harrington, who claims he will marry her regardless of her feelings. As the plot unfolds, Gertrude is notably distressed, inciting her to call for help. Meanwhile, her uncle, James Harrington, is gravely ill, and she worries about Saul's intentions toward her if she is left alone. The narrative teases a deeper conspiracy regarding the family fortune tied to the two Harringtons as George, the presumed heir, is anticipated to return from the West. The characters' complex dynamics set the stage for suspenseful developments as the story progresses.
