"Destiny" by G. P. S. is a novelette published in the late 19th century. This fictional work explores themes of identity, betrayal, and the quest for belonging through its central character, Muriel Standen, who navigates her complicated past and the implications of her family's secrets. The story follows Muriel as she learns about her true parentage and the troubled legacy left by her mother, Marion Winstanley. After the death of her guardian, Muriel moves to London to pursue a career on stage despite the stigma of her mother's past, which was marred by her mother’s infidelity and her father's tragic demise. Along the way, she meets and falls in love with Francis Keene, a successful actor who harbors his own familial struggles tied to Muriel's history. Their relationship is complicated by the revelation of familial connections that threaten to undermine their love, ultimately leading to an intense emotional confrontation. Throughout the narrative, Muriel grapples with her sense of self and her mother's mistakes, striving to establish her own identity while facing societal judgments.
