Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Wayfarers" by J. C. Snaith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces readers to the wild and reckless life of the protagonist, Jack Tiverton, an aristocrat whose debauchery has led him to the brink of ruin as he faces legal troubles and debt. As he grapples with his fate, the narrative weaves in themes of love and adventure, particularly with the character of Cynthia Carew, who plays a significant role in his tumultuous life. At the start of the novel, Jack awakens in a state of disarray after a night of indulgence, surrounded by evidence of his excess and facing impending arrest. He reflects on his reckless lifestyle, having lost both his fortune and his respectability. Just as he succumbs to desperation, his thoughts shift to Cynthia, a woman deeply connected to his past, who has run away from her own troubles. Their reunion sets the stage for a journey of escape and mischief, as they navigate their drastic circumstances together. This opening portion sets a tone of humor and adventure, promising a tale filled with the highs and lows of love and freedom.
