Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Millefleurs had given his family a great deal of trouble-not in the old-fashioned way of youthful folly or dissipation, which is too well known in every age, the beaten road upon which young men tread down the hearts of their progenitors, and their own best hopes, in all the wantonness of short-sighted self-indulgence. The heir of the house of Lavender had gone wrong in an entirely new-fashioned and nineteenth-century way. He was devoured by curiosity, not of the modes of pleasure, but about those other ways of living which the sons of dukes in general have no knowledge of. He got tired of being a duke's son, and it seemed to him that life lay outside the range of those happy valleys in which he was born. He had gone to America, that home of all kinds of freedom, and there had disappeared from the ken of ducal circles. He had not even written home, which was the inexcusable part of it, but had sunk out of sight, coming to the surface, as it were, only once or twice in a couple of years, when a sudden draft upon his banker revealed him to his anxious family, whose efforts to trace him during this time were manifold, but always unsuccessful.

Book excerpt: Left to themselves, Millefleurs and Beaufort stood opposite to each other for a moment with some embarrassment. To have anything to do with a quarrel is always painful for the third person; and it was so entirely unexpected, out of the way of all his habits, that Beaufort felt himself exceptionally incapable of dealing with it. "Millefleurs," he said with hesitation, "I don't understand all this. That was a very strange tone to take in speaking to-a friend." He felt for the first time like a tutor discharging an uncomfortable office, knowing that it must be done, yet that he was not the man to do it, and that of all the youthful individuals in the world, the last person to be so lectured was Millefleurs. "Naturally you think so. The circumstances make all the difference, don't you know," said Millefleurs, with his ordinary composure. "And the situation. In 'Frisco it might not have been of any great consequence. Helping a bully out of the world is not much of a crime there. But then it's never hushed up. No one makes a secret of it: that is the thing that sets one's blood up, don't you know. Not for Torrance's sake-who, so far as I can make out, was a cad-or poor Lady Car's, to whom it's something like a deliverance--"

Book excerpt: The mansion-house of Dalrulzian stands on the lower slope of a hill, which is crowned with a plantation of Scotch firs. The rugged outline of this wood, and the close-tufted mass of the tree-tops, stand out against the pale East, and protect the house below and the "policy," as the surrounding grounds are called in Scotland; so that though all the winds are sharp in that northern county, the sharpest of all is tempered. The house itself is backed by lighter foliage-a feathery grove of birches, a great old ash or two, and some tolerably well-grown, but less poetical, elms. It is a house of distinctively local character, with the curious, peaked, and graduated gables peculiar to Scotch rural architecture, and thick walls of the roughest stone, washed with a weather-stained coat of yellow-white. Two wings, each presenting a gabled end to the avenue, and a sturdy block of building retired between them, -all strong, securely built, as if hewn out of the rock, formed the homely house. It had little of the beauty which a building of no greater pretensions would probably have had in England.

Book excerpt: In Volume Two of Margaret Oliphant's The Ladies Lindores, serialised in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine in 1882 and published in full form in 1883, the wisdom or the folly of marrying for money is central to the agenda. Having witnessed the deep unhappiness of her eldest daughter, 'Carry', which is the result of her being married off to a wealthy but boorish mate, Lady Mary Lindores is fearful for the future of her younger daughter, Edith. Both Edith's brother, Lord Rintoul, and her avaricious father, the Earl of Lindores, are anxious that she should secure a partner of high social prestige and will brook no adverse argument - despite Rintoul's own private fascination with a lovely but 'unsuitable' young woman. Edith Lindores, however, is of a different mould than that her acquiescent sister and firmly believes in her own right to decide her fate. The Lindores' neighbour, John Erskine, the new Laird of Dalrulzian, who knew the family when they were light-hearted commoners, watches with dismay the limiting effects of the pursuit of wealth on his own heart's desire.As the novel progresses, his loyalty to the Lindores women coupled with his status as a comparative stranger to the local area, dangerously threatens his own freedom.This second volume of The Ladies Lindores, with its sharp focus on the complexities of marital, familial or human relationships, remains one of the best observations of the imperfections of Victorian society. Anne McManus Scriven is the editor of the 'Nineteenth Century Scottish Women's Fiction' series.

Book excerpt: "The Ladies Lindores" is a historical novel by Mrs. Oliphant. This carefully crafted Good Press ebook is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Extract: "It was not, however, with any sound of wheels, triumphal or otherwise, that young Erskine approached his father's house. It was all new and strange to him; the hills—the broad and wealthy carses through which he had passed—the noble Firth, half sea half river, which he had crossed over in his way—all appeared to him like landscapes in a dream, places he had seen before, though he could not tell how or when. It was afternoon when he reached Dunearn, which was the nearest place of any importance. He had chosen to stop there instead of at the little country station a few miles farther on, which was proper for Dalrulzian. This caprice had moved him, much in the same way as a prince had sometimes been moved to wander about incognito, and glean the opinions of his public as to his own character and proceedings."
