2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A fine beginning gradually peters out By Bomojaz There's nothing like a truly evil character in a novel to get a reader's juices flowing, and in Edmund Melrose Mrs. Ward really created one. A miserly, dismal man, whose only interest in life is collecting art works, most of which he never even uncrates, he divorces his wife after she escapes (with their daughter Felicia) his cold, unfeeling ways with a valuable statuette and returns to Italy. Claude Faversham happens along by accident (literally) one day and is hired by Melrose as his land agent - after Melrose learns that Faversham owns rare jewels that he inherited. Faversham tries to help the tenants of the Melrose estate, but Melrose refuses to give any money to them. When Melrose later drowns, Faversham is thought to be his murderer.All throughout these proceedings the love between Lydia Penfold and Faversham blossoms, in fits and starts, until, by a rather far-fetched coincidence, Faversham is proved innocent of Melrose's murder. Everything turns out perfectly at the end between Lydia and Faversham after he gives his inheritance to Felicia and the Melrose mansion becomes an art museum. That's the chief fault with the book: Mrs. Ward, like a good puppet master, controls the circumstances of the story too carefully to make them seem natural. The first half of the novel is excellent, but the last half disappoints. Nothing Mrs. Ward wrote is totally worthless, but this briskly written novel is not among her very best.
