Summary "Wyllard's Weird: A Novel" by M. E. Braddon is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a picturesque yet secluded Cornish landscape, capturing a moment of tragedy and mystery involving the death of a young woman who is either thrown from or jumps from a moving train. The central character appears to be Julian Wyllard, the local Lord of the Manor, who is drawn into the unfolding mystery alongside a cast of intriguing supporting characters, including Dr. Menheniot and Bothwell Grahame. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a tragic event that shocks a small community. As a train carrying passengers glides through the beautiful Cornish countryside, a young girl unexpectedly falls from the train and dies, leading to speculation about whether it was an accident or a deliberate act. The initial reactions from the passengers and locals reveal the gravity of the situation, as questions arise about her identity and the events leading up to her death. Characters like Dr. Menheniot and Wyllard become involved in the investigation, which hints at deeper themes of mystery and human nature, particularly concerning connections and the burden of secrets. This setting and dramatic incident create tension that is likely to engage readers interested in suspenseful and atmospheric narratives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
