"For Whose Sake?" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds primarily on board the ocean steamer Scorpio, where the lives of two main characters, Gentleman Geff and Jennie Montgomery, intersect in a dramatic and unexpected way. The narrative explores themes of identity, deception, and the consequences of one’s past. The opening of the novel introduces us to the tranquil yet tense atmosphere aboard the Scorpio, highlighting Gentleman Geff's life of luxury and guilt, as he travels with his new bride, Lamia, believing that his former wife is dead. Unbeknownst to him, Jennie Montgomery, his actual wife, is also a passenger on the ship, recovering from seasickness. Their fates collide when Jennie unexpectedly encounters Kightly Montgomery—Geff’s true identity—leading to a charged confrontation that reveals the complexities and betrayals of love and marriage. This initial encounter sets the stage for a deeper exploration of their intertwined lives, moral dilemmas, and the impact of social status on personal relationships.
