Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Man and Wife, Vol. 1: A Novel
ON a summer's morning, between thirty and forty years ago, two girls were crying bitterly in the cabin of an East Indian passenger ship, bound outward, from Gravesend to Bombay.
They were both of the same age - eighteen. They had both, from childhood upward, been close and dear friends at the same school. They were now parting for the first time - and parting, it might be, for life.
The name of one was Blanche. The name of the other was Anne.
Both were the children Of poor parents; both had been pupil-teachers at the school; and both were destined to earn their own bread. Person ally speaking, and socially speaking, these were the only points of resemblance between them.
