Armadale Prologue - Chapter I

from The Wilkie Collins Library · host Wilkie Collins

In which the quiet German town of Wildbad prepares to welcome the first visitors of the 1832 season, notably two English gentlemen arriving under shadowed health circumstances, drawing the attention of the local dignitaries and townsfolk alike. Against the lively backdrop of music and quaint costumes, a scene of tender anxiety unfolds as one visitor is revealed to suffer from a tragic paralytic condition, cared for by his devoted wife and guarded by a foreboding silence that sets a serious tone for the season ahead.
