A fallen woman said to have been jilted by a French officer, Sarah is a pariah to the well-bred society that Charles and Ernestina are a part of. While searching for fossils in a wooded coastal area, Charles encounters Sarah alone, and his curiosity and pity for her soon evolve into other emotions. It is not clear who seduces whom, but when another opportunity presents itself, Charles embraces Sarah passionately. Shortly thereafter, Sarah disappears, having been dismissed from domestic employment by the tyrannical do-gooder Mrs. Poultenay. Charles finds her in a room in Exeter, where he declares and demonstrates his love. Inspired by his image of Sarah as a valiant rebel against Victorian conventions, Charles rejects the constricting, respectable life Ernestina represents for him. He breaks off their engagement and is harassed with legal action for breach of contract. Meanwhile, Sarah vanishes again, and Charles spends 20 months scouring the world for her, finally tracing her to the lodgings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti in London. 650 0 $a Triangles (Interpersonal relations) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Duty $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Betrothal $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sexual attraction $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Lyme Regis (England) $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Sexual attraction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114799 650 7 $a Duty. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00899897 650 7 $a Betrothal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00830946 650 7 $a Triangles (Interpersonal relations) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156439 651 7 $a England $z Lyme Regis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01225151 650 7 $a Women $x Sexuality $v Fiction. $2 henn 651 4 $a Lyme Regis (England) $x Fiction. 655 4 $a PSYCHOLOGICAL FICTION HISTORICAL FICTION LOVE STORIES. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921732 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 0 $a Psychological fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VIPA334 $d 20210526113831.0 $n 2 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=29C40B94AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
