Margaret Oliphant, already a well-known writer at the time, published "Miss Marjoribanks" in 1866. Oliphant's series for Blackwood's, "The Chronicles of Carlingford," had been in progress and "Miss Marjoribanks" was the fifth novel in the series. Though Oliphant was a well-known literary figure of her time, she has only recently received critical attention from modern scholarship.Returning home to tend her widowed father Dr. Marjoribanks, Lucilla soon launches herself into Carlingford society, aiming to raise the tone with her select Thursday evening parties.Optimistic, resourceful and blithely unimpeded by self-doubt, Lucilla is a superior being in every way, not least in relation to men.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Miss Marjoribanks lost her mother when she was onlyfifteen, and when, to add to the misfortune, she wasabsent at school, and could not have it in her power tosoothe her dear mamma's last moments, as she herselfsaid. Words are sometimes very poor exponents of suchan event: but it happens now and then, on the other hand,that a plain intimation expresses too much, and suggestsemotion and suffering which, in reality, have but little, ifany, existence. Mrs Marjoribanks, poor lady, had been aninvalid for many years; she had grown a little peevish inher loneliness, not feeling herself of much account in thisworld. There are some rare natures that are content toacquiesce in the general neglect, and forget themselveswhen they find themselves forgotten; but it is unfortunatelymuch more usual to take the plan adopted by MrsMarjoribanks, who devoted all her powers, during the lastten years of her life, to the solacement and care of thatpoor self which other people neglected. The consequencewas, that when she disappeared from her sofa—except forthe mere physical fact that she was no longer there—noone, except her maid, whose occupation was gone, couldhave found out much difference. Her husband, it is true,who had, somewhere, hidden deep in some secret cornerof his physical organisation, the remains of a heart,

Excerpt from Miss. Marjoribanks, Vol. 2 of 3I cannot say about that night in particular, but I am sure a great many people have given you a thought, said Miss Marjoribanks. We have all been wondering what had become of you, where you were, and when you were coming back. SO far as I am concerned, I have missed you dreadfully, said Lucilla, with her usual Openness; and she really thought for a moment that Mr Cavendish in a sudden transport was going down on his knees.I scarcely hoped for so much. Happiness, he said and though he kept up the tone proper to good society, which might mean sport or earnest according as the occasion required, there was a certain air of gratitude and tenderness in his face which sent Lucilla's active mind a - wondering. He is thinking of the music-stand, she' said to herself, and then went on with what she was saying; for though Miss Marjoribanks had a very good Opinion of herself, it had not occurred to her that Mr Cavendish was very deeply in love - with her, at all events.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
