About this issue

This issue of The Argosy (July 1, 1869) contains the serial Roland Yorke: A Sequel to "The Channings," by the author of East Lynne. In Chapter XXI, Roland Yorke pursues copying work for meager pay (one shilling ninepence weekly) while contemplating better employment prospects, fantasizing about photography studios or government positions. Encountering Annabel Channing near Bede Greatorex's house, Roland impulsively diverts her from her intended destination to press his suit, discussing his modest financial plans—two hundred pounds annually from combined earnings including her prospective pupils—and effectively assuming their engagement. Meanwhile, Roland's friend Hamish Channing experiences authorial triumph as his published book receives favorable publisher terms, while his wife reads it emotionally and their daughter Nelly observes her tears, bringing Hamish profound satisfaction at the work's appreciated reception.
