Lillian's vow
Lillian's Vow is an American dime novel published in 1898 in George Munro's Sweetheart Series, a line of cheap paperbacks sold at newsstands alongside the works of Laura Jean Libbey and Charles Garvice. It opens on a winter night in a great city with an old man, Gilbert Leigh, attacked in the street by someone determined to seize a memorandum book that holds proof of forgery and embezzlement in high places; the heroine's vow, and the long chain of disguises, false names, sudden reversals and threatened marriages that follows, grow out of that crime. Mrs. E. Burke Collins wrote many such stories, and this one shows the form at its purest: short chapters, strong feelings, a villain in every shadow. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
