Mr. Waddington Of Wyck - May Sinclair - Bog

""Mr. Waddington Of Wyck"" is a novel by British author May Sinclair. The story revolves around the titular character, Mr. Waddington, a wealthy and cultured man who lives in the small village of Wyck. Despite his privileged position, Mr. Waddington is haunted by a deep sense of loneliness and dissatisfaction with his life. When a young woman named Louise appears in Wyck, Mr. Waddington becomes infatuated with her and begins to pursue her romantically. However, Louise is already engaged to another man, and Mr. Waddington must confront his own feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. As the story unfolds, the characters grapple with themes of love, morality, and the search for meaning in life. Through her vivid descriptions and insightful characterizations, Sinclair paints a poignant portrait of a man struggling to find his place in the world.But the more he thought about it the less he liked the idea of consulting anybody. He was desperately afraid that, if he once began letting people into it, his scheme, his League, would be taken away from him; and that the proper thing, the graceful thing, the thing to which he would be impelled by all his instincts and traditions, would be to stand modestly back and see it go. Probably into Sir John Corbett's hands. And he couldn't. He couldn't. Yet it was clear that the League, just because it was a League, must have members; even if he had been prepared to contribute all the funds himself and carry on the whole business of it single-handed, it couldn't consist solely of Mr. Waddington of Wyck.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
