Mr. Waddington of Wyck is a novel by May Sinclair, first published in 1919. The story follows the life of Mr. Waddington, a wealthy and respected member of the British upper class, who is also secretly an atheist. When he meets a young woman named Monica, he becomes enamored with her and begins to question his own beliefs. As their relationship develops, Mr. Waddington must confront the consequences of his atheism and the societal expectations that come with his position. The novel explores themes of love, religion, and class, and offers a nuanced portrayal of a man struggling to reconcile his personal beliefs with the expectations of his community. Overall, Mr. Waddington of Wyck is a thought-provoking and engaging work of fiction that delves into complex issues of faith and identity.But the more he thought about it the less he liked the idea of consulting anybody. He was desperately afraid that, if he once began letting people into it, his scheme, his League, would be taken away from him; and that the proper thing, the graceful thing, the thing to which he would be impelled by all his instincts and traditions, would be to stand modestly back and see it go. Probably into Sir John Corbett's hands. And he couldn't. He couldn't. Yet it was clear that the League, just because it was a League, must have members; even if he had been prepared to contribute all the funds himself and carry on the whole business of it single-handed, it couldn't consist solely of Mr. Waddington of Wyck.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
