Project Gutenberg 2004-12-17 Public domain in the USA. 135 Craik, Dinah Maria Mulock 1826 1887 Mulock, Miss Mulock, Dinah Maria A Noble Life E-text prepared by Robin Eugene Escovado "A Noble Life" by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The story begins with the tragic life of Charles Edward Stuart Montgomerie, the last Earl of Cairnforth, who is born into nobility but faces the devastating loss of both parents shortly after his birth. Central to the narrative is the earl's struggle with a physical deformity, which shapes his life and interactions with others. The beginning of the book introduces readers to the earl's origin story, detailing the catastrophic events that claimed his parents and the circumstances under which he was left to navigate life without parental guidance. The narrative unfolds through the compassionate eyes of Reverend Alexander Cardross and his family, who become guardians and friends to the earl as he grows up. The early chapters set a tone of empathy and tenderness, emphasizing the earl's unique character, resilience, and the profound influence of love and care from those around him, particularly the minister and his daughter, Helen. Their interactions promise a story filled with the themes of hope, acceptance, and the search for meaning in a life constrained by physical limitations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
