Project Gutenberg 2006-03-22 Public domain in the USA. 187 Collins, Wilkie 1824 1889 Collins, William Wilkie Miss or Mrs.? Produced by James Rusk and David Widger "Miss or Mrs.?" by Wilkie Collins is a novel likely written in the late 19th century, which explores themes of love, social conventions, and the complexities of marriage during the Victorian era. The narrative introduces a vibrant cast of characters, including the young and beautiful Natalie Graybrooke and her potential suitor Richard Turlington, who seems much more invested in the idea of marrying Natalie for social standing than for genuine affection. The opening of the novel establishes a leisurely cruise on Richard Turlington's yacht, with several key characters on board, including Natalie's father, Sir Joseph Graybrooke, and her medical companion, Launcelot Linzie. As the narrative unfolds, tension begins to brew around Richard’s growing attachment to Natalie, alongside hints of a deeper connection between her and Launcelot. Through witty dialogues and strategic signals sent between Natalie and Launcelot, Collins teases themes of forbidden love and societal constraints, setting the stage for a conflict that will challenge the characters' desires against the expectations placed upon them. This balance of romantic entanglement and social scrutiny invites readers into a captivating exploration of youth, beauty, and the impersonal nature of marriage, inviting reflection on the true essence of love.
