Summary "Lost Sir Massingberd: A Romance of Real Life" by James Payn is a fictional novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows the complex lives of various characters, notably Sir Massingberd, a controversial baronet whose mysterious disappearance sets into motion a series of dramatic events. Themes of morality, the consequences of one's actions, and the interplay between fate and free will are central to the unfolding narrative. At the start of the novel, the protagonist expresses apprehension about meeting Sir Massingberd, fearing the deceitful nature of the baronet. The tension builds as he contemplates the dark past of the family and the sinister presence of the butler, Gilmore, who is equally embroiled in the baronet's schemes. The narrative further takes a somber turn when Sir Massingberd goes missing, prompting a search within Fairburn Chase. This disappearance raises suspicions of foul play, especially related to the gipsy community linked to Sir Massingberd's past transgressions, propelling the characters into a web of intrigue and unanswered questions.
