The Marquis of Lossie is a novel written by George MacDonald. The story revolves around the life of a young man named Cosmo Campbell, who is the Marquis of Lossie. Cosmo is a kind-hearted and noble young man who is loved by all those around him. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers a dark family secret that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.As the story unfolds, Cosmo must navigate the treacherous waters of love, betrayal, and family loyalty. He falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Lady Joan, but their relationship is complicated by the fact that she is engaged to another man. Meanwhile, Cosmo's family is torn apart by the revelation of the family secret, and he must decide where his loyalties lie.Throughout the novel, MacDonald explores themes of love, forgiveness, and redemption. He paints a vivid picture of life in 19th century Scotland, and his characters are richly drawn and full of depth. The Marquis of Lossie is a timeless tale of love and loyalty that will captivate readers of all ages.And so the young earl held his head high, looked as innocent as may be desirable for a gentleman, had many a fair clean hand laid in his, and many a maiden waist yielded to his arm, while the woman flitted about half an alien amongst her own, with his child wound in her old shawl of Lossie tartan; wandering not seldom in the gloaming when her little one slept, along the top of the dune, with the wind blowing keen upon her from the regions of eternal ice, sometimes the snow settling softly on her hair, sometimes the hailstones nestling in its meshes; the skies growing blacker about her, and the sea stormier, while hope retreated so far into the heavenly regions, that hope and heaven both were lost to her view. Thus, alas! the things in which he was superior to her, most of all that he was a gentleman, while she was but a peasant girl-- the things whose witchery drew her to his will, he made the means of casting her down from the place of her excellency into the mire of shame and loss. The only love worthy of the name ever and always uplifts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
