Mr. Waddington Of Wyck

""Mr. Waddington of Wyck"" is a novel written by May Sinclair, first published in 1919. It tells the story of Mr. Waddington, a wealthy and respected man living in the English countryside. Despite his seemingly perfect life, Mr. Waddington is haunted by a secret from his past that threatens to unravel everything he has built. When a young woman named Louise appears in his life, Mr. Waddington is forced to confront his past and the consequences of his actions. The novel explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships. With its vivid characters and atmospheric setting, ""Mr. Waddington of Wyck"" is a compelling and thought-provoking read.But the more he thought about it the less he liked the idea of consulting anybody. He was desperately afraid that, if he once began letting people into it, his scheme, his League, would be taken away from him; and that the proper thing, the graceful thing, the thing to which he would be impelled by all his instincts and traditions, would be to stand modestly back and see it go. Probably into Sir John Corbett's hands. And he couldn't. He couldn't. Yet it was clear that the League, just because it was a League, must have members; even if he had been prepared to contribute all the funds himself and carry on the whole business of it single-handed, it couldn't consist solely of Mr. Waddington of Wyck.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
