Mr. Incoul's Misadventure is a novel written by Edgar Saltus. The story revolves around the wealthy and successful businessman, Mr. Incoul, who is married to a beautiful and charming woman, Mrs. Incoul. However, Mr. Incoul's life takes a dark turn when he becomes infatuated with a young and mysterious woman named Madame Zophie. Despite warnings from his friends and family, Mr. Incoul becomes increasingly obsessed with Madame Zophie and begins to neglect his responsibilities and relationships. As he spirals out of control, Mr. Incoul's actions lead to disastrous consequences, ultimately leading to his downfall. The novel explores themes of obsession, infidelity, and the consequences of one's actions.1887. The story begins: When Harmon Incoul�������s wife died, the world in which he lived said that he would not marry again. The bereavement which he had suffered was known to be bitter, and it was reported that he might betake himself to some foreign land. There was, for that matter, nothing to keep him at home. He was childless, his tastes were too simple to make it necessary for him to reside as he had, hitherto, in New York, and moreover, he was a man whose wealth was proverbial. Had he so chosen, he had little else to do than to purchase a ticket and journey wheresoever he listed, and the knowledge of this ability may have been to him not without its consolations. Yet, if he attempted to map some plan, and think which spot he would prefer, he probably reflected that whatever place he might choose, he would, in the end, be not unlike the invalid who turns over in his bed, and then turns back again on finding the second position no better than the first. However fair another sky might be, it would not make his sorrow less acute.
