Project Gutenberg 2017-10-07 Public domain in the USA. 320 Castle, Agnes 1860 1922 Castle, Agnes Sweetman Sweetman, Agnes Castle, Mrs. Egerton Castle, Egerton 1858 1920 Rose of the World Produced by Al Haines "Rose of the World" by Agnes and Egerton Castle is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of British India and follows Major Raymond Bethune, a soldier of the Guides, who grapples with his feelings for Lady Gerardine, the widow of his fallen comrade, Captain Harry English. The narrative explores themes of duty, love, loss, and the clash of cultures, encapsulated in the characters' struggles to reconcile their pasts with their present. The opening of the novel introduces Major Bethune as he reflects on his life in India and the deep connection he has developed there, while also feeling an inexplicable pull towards his English roots. Upon arriving at the palace of the Lieutenant-Governor, he encounters the youthful and spirited Aspasia Cuningham, who brings a refreshing energy to the scene. As Lady Gerardine makes her entrance, a palpable tension arises between her and Bethune, hinting at a shared history that Bethune desperately wants to explore for the sake of writing a biography about Captain English. The dialogue sets the stage for complex emotional dynamics as Bethune's admiration for Lady Gerardine clashes with her reluctance to revisit the past, a struggle that promises to unfold throughout the story.
