The Intriguers by Harold Bindloss
"The Intriguers" by Harold Bindloss is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story begins in the picturesque city of Quebec, where the main characters, Mrs. Keith and her companion, Millicent Graham, navigate their lives amidst lingering social concerns and personal histories. Central to the narrative is Millicent's connection to Richard Blake, a man with a troubled past that hints at themes of redemption and social class. The opening
portion introduces Mrs. Keith and Mrs. Ashborne as they enjoy a sunny morning while discussing plans to travel to Montreal. They mention their respect for Millicent, who is revealed to be the daughter of a man with a dubious reputation. The chapter unfolds to reveal various backstories and hints about Richard Blake's scandalous reputation in the military. His interactions with Millicent during a chance encounter on a riverboat set the stage for a complex web of relationships intertwining their pasts and present ambitions. This initial exploration of character backgrounds and social dynamics effectively lays the groundwork for the intrigue and drama that seems poised to follow.
