Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by Google Books
"The Maid of Honour: A Tale of the Dark Days of France. Vol. 2 (of 3)" by Lewis Wingfield is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the tumultuous period of the French Revolution, exploring themes of love, betrayal, and moral conflict through the experiences of its central character, Gabrielle, the Marquise de Gange. As the narrative unfolds, the reader is taken into the depths of Gabrielle's struggles with her emotions and the societal challenges posed by the political upheaval surrounding her. At the start of the novel, the reader finds Gabrielle in a state of emotional turmoil following the departure of the abbé, who served as a key figure in her household. As she grapples with feelings of isolation and despair, her situation is complicated by the growing tensions of the era, including the political unrest and the shifting loyalties of those around her. Meanwhile, her husband, Clovis, is depicted as indifferent and entangled with the governess, Aglaé, who harbors her own ambitions. The opening chapters set the stage for a dramatic confrontation of personal and political stakes as Gabrielle contemplates her fate amidst the chaos that defines her world.
