"The Missionary" by George Chetwynd Griffith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to explore complex themes of love, identity, and the consequences of one's heritage through the lives of its characters, particularly focusing on Vane Maxwell and Carol Vane, who are revealed to be half-siblings. As the narrative unfolds, readers can expect a deep dive into personal struggles against societal expectations and the shadows of familial legacies. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a dynamic scene involving a confrontation between two boys fighting for the affection of a young girl named Eny. This early interaction hints at the underlying themes of rivalry and affection that will permeate the characters' relationships. Transitioning to Vane Maxwell, we witness his interactions in the vibrant and boisterous atmosphere of London during Boat-race day. The beginnings of a relationship form when he encounters a young woman at the Palace, who later turns out to be Carol Vane, a character with a mysterious past. This initial meeting leads to a connection steeped in both intrigue and danger as Vane's history and family secrets begin to surface. The opening sets the stage for a blend of romance, the exploration of personal integrity, and thematic discussions about the effects of past choices on present lives.
