One Doubtful Hour (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161446425)

One Doubtful Hour is a novel written by Ella Hepworth Dixon, first published in 1904. The story is set in London during the early 1900s and follows the life of a young woman named Gwendoline Kirby. Gwendoline is a talented artist who is struggling to make a living in a society that does not value female artists. When she meets a wealthy and handsome man named George Talboys, she is swept off her feet and believes that she has finally found the love and security that she has been searching for.However, as Gwendoline becomes more involved with George, she begins to uncover some disturbing secrets about his past. She discovers that he has been involved in a scandalous affair with another woman, and that he is not the man that he appears to be. Gwendoline is torn between her love for George and her own sense of morality, and she must decide whether to stay with him or to leave him behind.One Doubtful Hour is a powerful exploration of love, morality, and the struggle for self-discovery. Dixon's vivid descriptions of London society and the inner turmoil of her characters make this novel a timeless classic. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the complexities of human relationships and the search for personal identity.WHAT was the fortune of Flora? Nobody seemed to know, and what was more curious, nobody seemed to like to ask; yet it was impossible for a young couple to be more light-hearted on the eve of the adventure of matrimony. Laurie, it is true, was at the golden age of twenty-three, and had never allowed himself to be annoyed by a care or an unpaid debt in his jocund young life; while to mention that the bride-elect was an American of five-and-twenty, though she looked (and called herself) nineteen, is to say that her outlook on the world and its problems was as cheerful as is consistent with living in the twentieth century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
