About this issue

This issue of The Argos (May 1876) contains a continuing serial by Mrs. Henry Wood, author of East Lynne. Chapter XIII, "Mr. Pellet in the Churchyard," depicts a chemist's assistant brooding over his unrequited rival Frank Raynor's rumored correspondence with Rosaline Bell, who has departed to Falmouth. Blase Pellet, tormented by jealousy, accidentally learns through village gossip of Frank's errand to Tello's post-office—which he misinterprets as evidence of secret letters. Deciding to hint broadly at knowledge of unspecified crime rather than reveal his true knowledge, Pellet contemplates spreading rumors about Josiah Bell's disappearance into a local mine shaft. Meanwhile, Frank meets secretly with "Daisy" at the Mount, discussing his impending move to London, while Daisy struggles silently with suspicions about his past relationship with Rosaline. The narrative interweaves multiple concurrent romantic and criminal plot threads.
