M. Robins is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. Set against the picturesque backdrop of a Devonshire summer, the story revolves around an artist named Osmond Allonby, who finds himself drawn to the idyllic landscape of Edge Combe while contemplating life beyond his London existence. As he enjoys the natural beauty, his musings soon take a dark turn when he becomes the victim of a mysterious and violent attack. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Allonby as he revels in the serene environment, reflecting on his dissatisfaction with city life. His tranquility is suddenly shattered when he collapses, having been assaulted, which is witnessed by a young woman named Elaine Brabourne and her maid, Jane. As chaos erupts following the discovery of his state, Elaine's immediate reaction reveals her emotional depth and highlights her sheltered upbringing, setting in motion a series of events that intertwine the lives of the characters as they grapple with the implications of violence in their once-peaceful lives.
