Why Paul Ferroll Killed His Wife is a novel by Caroline Wigley Clive, first published in 1860. The story follows the titular character, Paul Ferroll, a wealthy and respected man in his community who is suspected of murdering his wife. The novel is written in the form of a series of letters and diary entries from various characters, including Ferroll himself, as they try to unravel the mystery of his wife's death. As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that Ferroll has a dark past, including a previous marriage that ended in tragedy. The novel explores themes of jealousy, revenge, and the consequences of past actions. Why Paul Ferroll Killed His Wife was well-received upon its initial publication, with critics praising its gripping plot and well-drawn characters. It has since been recognized as an important work in the genre of sensation fiction, which was popular in the Victorian era for its melodramatic and often scandalous subject matter.Without the least hesitation. or embarrassment, Elinor came forward from the trees, and caught his sight, making a motion inviting him to speak to her. He immediately rode up to the place where she stood, and dismounting, eagerly told her what he really had done, and a great deal more which he claimed to have done for her. Elinor was more and more troubled, and as soon as he would hear her, professed her regret at having thus employed him, in so penitent a manner, that the tears again rose to her eyes, and in his heart arose a tender pity, which made him ready to fall down at her feet, and raise her by his humble love above all claim and all necessity for pity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
