Synopsis
Excerpt from Tristram of Blent: An Episode in the Story of an Ancient House
Idid not myself see Captain and Mrs F. Again, as I left Heidelberg the next day, 22nd June. I learnt how ever from Madame de Kries that the wedding was hurried on and took place on the day following my departure; after this the pair went to Baden, and there, a fortnight later, the child - a boy - was born. I must confess that I was glad the young couple had avoided the calamity they were in dread Of, although I am not sure that I had a right to wish that they Should escape the full conse quences of their fault.

About the Author
Anthony Hope (in full Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins) was born in London and educated at Marlborough and at Balliol College, Oxford. He became a lawyer, and dabbled in Liberal politics, but the immediate success of 'The Prisoner of Zenda', his fourth work, turned him entirely to writing. This work and its sequel, 'Rupert of Hentzau', both describe the perilous adventures of the Englishman Rudolph Rassendyll in the mythical kingdom of Ruritania. Anthony Hope successfully published many other novels and plays. He was knighted in 1918 and died in 1933.
