Two Kisses by Henry Hawley Smart is a Victorian sensation novel of love, jealousy, and social peril. Cissy Gore, married to Montague Gore, suspects that her husband’s professed devotion masks a hidden liaison, and she travels toward Brompton-super-Mare with a mind made up to leave him. In London’s financial labyrinths, guardian Roxby, the moneylender Simmonds, and Fox Brine maneuver through schemes, threats, and blackmail as debts mount and reputations hang by a thread. The plot interweaves jealous confidences, clandestine interviews, and a series of morally ambiguous choices that probe the limits of loyalty and honor. Amid duels of wit and a notorious “Coleman’s” lair, the lovers strive to clear their names, face the consequences of appearances, and win a second chance. The tale resolves in reconciliation, nuptials, and renewed faith, offering a somber meditation on love’s resilience and society’s power to judge.
