Although the nighttime service is performed in a rather somnambulistic manner, the grey ancient cathedral exudes a profound sense of peace. Gilbert Fenton saw the girl Mrs. Lister had been staring at so much during the ceremony that he frequently found his eyes returning to her again.Every day Gilbert Fenton paid a visit to Marian at Lidford because he was troubled by a glimpse of the future.Even though the security of the operations at Mr. Fenton's offices in Great St. Helens was in danger, he remained in Lidford for an additional week. An unbreakable link connected Stephen Whitelaw's life to Ellen Carley's. She continued to stare into her father's face in the hopes that he could show some sign of trembling or give off a clue of a potential release. She went from one assignment to the next, working assiduously and with an unfailing vigor.On the Oronoco, John Saltram looked for Mr. Nowell, but he was unsuccessful in finding him. Ellen Whitelaw overheard a harsh, anguished cry that tormented her for some time afterward. She was unable to forget that crazed, strange sound, and she was always searching for an explanation. Although her beauty had somewhat diminished in brilliance, something about her face moved him more deeply than the previous charm.

Autorenporträt
Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1915) was an English novelist, best known for her sensationalist novels during the Victorian era. Her 1862 novel Lady Audley's Secret is particularly famous, earning her widespread recognition and cementing her place in literary history. Braddon's works often dealt with themes of hidden secrets, psychological tension, and societal norms, becoming widely popular with Victorian readers. She was born in London and had a varied career, initially acting before turning to writing. Her work often blended romance, mystery, and drama, and she became a key figure in the genre of sensation novels. Braddon's personal life was also colorful; she had a long relationship with her publisher, John Maxwell, whom she married in 1874. She had two children, both of whom also pursued literary careers. Braddon's influence on Victorian fiction was significant, and her works were admired for their compelling plots and ability to explore darker aspects of human nature, often challenging the moral and social codes of her time. She passed away at the age of 79 in Richmond, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be appreciated in both literary and popular contexts.
