The Many Coloured Thread - Luke Allan - Bog

This story opens in California from whence the scene is transferred to the picturesque Balearic Islands where the main drama takes place.
It reveals the reactions of two young people-wage slaves-who are suddenly released from bondage by a substantial legacy, and shows how the even tenor of their lives was abruptly ended in the most romantic of surroundings.
Although they were not married, Milly and Hall lived together, both happy in the knowledge of their mutual love, and content to forget the world and its attendant cares in their newly-created paradise.
Yet looming up on the distant horizon a storm-cloud slowly approached, finally to burst in all its fury upon the unsuspecting couple. It is a dramatic and absorbing love story.
