About this issue

This December 1869 issue of The Argosy contains the serialized novel Roland Yorke: A Sequel to "The Channings" by the author of East Lynne. The excerpt covers Chapter XLI, "A Telegram for Roland Yorke." Roland, a clerk dwelling on disappointments—his dying friend Hamish Channing, a delayed letter from Sir Vincent Yorke regarding a promised bailiff position, and workplace upheaval—receives a telegram from Sir Vincent summoning him urgently to Sunny Mead by first train. Roland grows hopeful the appointment is imminent. Before departing, he tells Annabel (whom he hopes to marry) the good news, visits the dying Hamish to share his fortune, and learns Hamish has named him Nelly's property guardian. Traveling to Sunny Mead by rail, Roland discovers from a groom that Sir Vincent never went to Paris due to an accident. The passage ends as Roland awaits fuller explanation.
