In fairness to Captain Vyell be it added that heÑa young English blood, bearing kinship with two or three of the great Whig families at home, and sceptical as became a person of qualityÑwas capable as any one of relishing the comedy, had it been pointed out to him. With equal readiness he would have scoffed at Man's pretensions in this world and denied him any place at all in the next. Nevertheless on a planet the folly of which might be taken for granted he claimed at least his share of the reverence paid by fools to rank and wealth. He was travelling this lonely coast on a tour of inspection, to visit and report upon a site where His Majesty's advisers had some design to plant a fort; and a fine ostentation coloured his progress here as through life. He had brought his coach because it conveyed his claret and his batterie de cuisine (the seaside inns were detestable); but being young and extravagantly healthy and, with all his faults, very much of a man, he preferred to ride ahead on his saddle-horse and let his pomp follow him. Six horses drew the coach, and to each pair of leaders rode a postillion, while a black coachman guided the wheelers from the box-seat; all three men in the Collector's livery of white and scarlet. On a perch behind the vehicleÑwhich, despite its weight, left but the shallowest of wheel-ruts on the hard sandÑsat Manasseh, the Collector's cook and body-servant; a huge negro, in livery of the same white and scarlet but with heavy adornments of bullion, a cockade in his hat, and a loaded blunderbuss laid across his thighs. Last and alone within the coach, with a wine-case for footstool, sat a five-year-old boy. Master Dicky VyellÑthe Collector's only child, and motherlessÑsat and gazed out of the windows in a delicious terror. For hours that morning the travellers had ploughed their way over a plain of blown sand, dotted with shrub-oaks, bay-berries, and clumps of Indian grass; then, at a point where the tall cliffs began, had wound down to the sea between low foothills and a sedge-covered marsh criss-crossed by watercourses that spread out here and there into lagoons. At the head of this descent the Atlantic had come into sight, and all the way down its echoes had grown in the boy's ears, confusing themselves with a delicious odour which came in fact from the fields of sedge, though he attributed it to the ocean.

"Lady Good-for-Nothing: A Man's Portrait of a Woman" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a compelling exploration of gender roles and societal expectations in the 19th century. Through the eyes of the male protagonist, Quiller-Couch delves into the complexities of female identity and challenges conventional notions of femininity. With rich character development and intricate plotlines, the author navigates themes of love, ambition, and self-discovery. "Lady Good-for-Nothing" offers a nuanced portrayal of a woman's journey in a patriarchal society, shedding light on the limitations imposed on women and the potential for personal growth and empowerment. Quiller-Couch's masterful storytelling captivates readers and prompts them to reflect on the intricacies of gender dynamics and the pursuit of individuality.

Sir Walter Scott defined the parameters of the historical novel and illustrated his concept of the genre by writing a long series of novels dealing with medieval times, the Elizabethan Age and the 18th Century. Later novels written by his contemporaries and successors attracted smaller audiences. When Robert Louis Stevenson, in the early 1880s, enthusiastically expanded the boundaries of romantic fiction, he became a standard-bearer and an inspiration to many of his fellow-novelists: Walter Besant, Richard Doddridge Blackmore, Arthur Quiller-Couch, Arthur Conan Doyle, Stanley John Weyman, Anthony Hope, Henry Rider Haggard, and Rafael Sabatini.

SHE HAD DISHONORED THE SABBATH They had stripped her to the waist, and then for decency -- their decency -- had thrown a jacket of coarse sacking over her, lacing it loosely in front with pack-thread. But, because their work required it, this garment had been gathered up into a rope at the neck, whence it dangled in folds over her young breast. Faith never yet has burnt man or woman at the stake. Religion has burnt its tens of thousands. This is the astonishing love story of Ruth and Oliver. From America of the mid-eighteenth century; to earthquake-ravaged Lisbon, Portugal; to England, their tormented romance flamed and burned. . . . Would his Lady Good-for-Nothing be vindicated. . . . Or suffer a shameful punishment? A lyrical and unusual novel of historical passion, originally published under the pseudonym Q by the editor of The Oxford Book of Verse, the famous poet Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch.
