Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Vision of the Foam
Mowbray was a young physician who had obtained his degrees, with honours in special subjects, at a leading College, three years before his introduction to the reader. He went abroad to extend by observation and experience his knowledge of the science to which his life would be devoted, and on returning home received from an old friend of his father's, Dr. Fortescue an invitation to assist him in an extensive practice at Bayview. Mowbray consented the more readily because he knew that old Fortescue had an interesting and only daughter, Helen, and his acceptance of the position was socially and professionally a desirable opening for a young man on the threshold of his career. Youth being ever prone to indulge the pleasing romance of hope, his fancy painted the bright prospect of winning Helen's heart and hand and succeeding to her father's business. Time and chance too often shatter such glowing illusions, as Mowbray was soon to discover in the most unexpected manner.
