Project Gutenberg 2005-05-31 Public domain in the USA. 101 Forrest, E. W. (Edmund William) 1880 Forrest, Edmund William Vellenaux A Novel Produced by Early Canadiana Online, Robert Cicconetti, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Vellenaux" by E.W. Forrest is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story intertwines elements of historical fiction, set against the backdrop of significant events from the Sheik Wars and the Sepoy Mutiny. The narrative centers around Sir Jasper Coleman, a retired military officer living at his ancestral estate, Vellenaux, and the dynamics between him, his lovely adopted niece Edith, and the young protégé Arthur Carlton, who has recently returned from college. The opening portion introduces us to the grand estate of Vellenaux and its inhabitants, particularly focusing on Sir Jasper, who is a benevolent but aging bachelor. As he contemplates his life, his warmth is highlighted through his relationship with his niece, who eagerly seeks his stories from London. The arrival of Mrs. Fraudhurst, the widow who has ingratiated herself into Sir Jasper’s household, adds an intriguing element of tension, as she appears to be scheming to secure both her position and potentially the estate itself. As we delve into their lives, hints of romantic interests begin to surface, particularly between Arthur and Edith, setting the stage for potential conflicts and developments as the story progresses.
