| Summary |
"Marmaduke" by Flora Annie Steel is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character Captain Marmaduke Muir, who returns home after ten years of foreign service to find changes at Drummuir Castle, including the arrival of new relationships and tensions within his family dynamics. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Marmaduke and his old acquaintance, Marrion Paul, as they reconnect after many years. Their interactions reveal past familiarity tinged with present complexities, establishing a foundation for potential romance and conflict. The narrative hints at deeper issues within the Muir family, particularly concerning Marmaduke's father, Lord Drummuir, and the circumstances surrounding an impending marriage that could complicate the family legacy. The opening paints a vivid picture of character dynamics and sets the stage for ensuing drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
