"The Weird Picture" by John R. Carling is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds with Frank Willard, a student in Heidelberg, who is invited to his brother George's wedding in England while grappling with his own unrequited love for Daphne, George's fiancée. The narrative hints at a web of mystery and intrigue involving a strange incident in Dover, where prophetic symbols and unusual events foreshadow impending turmoil in the lives of the characters. The opening of the novel introduces us to Frank's emotional turmoil as he receives a letter from his brother, urging him to come home for the wedding. Despite his heartache, Frank decides to attend, hoping for a final glimpse of Daphne. As he travels to England, he becomes entangled in a mysterious series of events involving his brother, who seems to disappear on the morning of the wedding amidst alarming circumstances, including a red stain on his vest. These occurrences and the arrival of an enigmatic lady on the same journey add layers to the plot, setting the stage for the unfolding drama that threatens to reveal tangled secrets among the characters.
