The story revolves around the life of Denzil Quarrier, a young and ambitious author who is struggling to make a name for himself in the literary world. He is torn between his desire for success and his love for a woman named Paula, who is already engaged to another man.As Quarrier's career begins to take off, he becomes increasingly obsessed with his work and neglects his relationship with Paula. Meanwhile, Paula's fianc����� becomes suspicious of Quarrier's intentions and begins to investigate his past.The novel explores themes of love, ambition, and the corrupting influence of fame. It also provides a vivid portrayal of the literary world in Victorian England, with its cut-throat competition and social hierarchies.Overall, Denzil Quarrier is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian literature and the human psyche.Tobias Liversedge was a man of substance, but in domestic habits he followed the rule of the unpretentious middle-class. Breakfast at eight, dinner at one, tea at five, supper at nine -- such was the order of the day that he had known in boyhood, and it suited him well enough now that he was at the head of a household. The fare was simple, but various and abundant; no dishes with foreign names, no drinks more luxurious than sherry and claret. If he entertained guests, they were people of his own kind, who thought more of the hearty welcome than of what was set before them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
