About this issue

The Argosy, August 1877, Vol. XXIV Chapter XXII of the serialized novel "Gabriel's Appointment" depicts preparations for the wedding of Gabriel Bruce and Edith Leicester at seaside. Gabriel, convalescent and dependent on Edith's care, regains strength through gentle activity—rides, walks, and conversation. The wedding is scheduled for late April; clergyman David Forrest arrives to perform the ceremony. Overheard train gossip reveals that Sir Jesse Strahan, recently connected to Edith, now intends to marry Helen Ford instead, enticed by promise of the late Lady Strahan's diamonds. Helen confirms this pragmatic match to Edith, rejecting romantic ideals for security and comfort. Meanwhile, the subplot concerning a missing boy from David's parish continues; a theatrical fire brigade helmet has been found, possibly connected to the mysterious fire and child's disappearance. David hopes the boy will eventually return unharmed.
