The Conspirators Illustrated edition by Alexandrе Dumas Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Robert W. Chambers wrote in the late 19th and early 20th century. His novels combined adventure and romance. I found my copy of "The Conspirators" from 1900 in an antique store and found myself rushing through the yellowed pages to experience the conclusion that seemed sure to come. As with novels of the period, black and white illustrations sweetly suggest the scenes.
The protagonist is Gilbert Hardy who is sent to Luxembourg. Hardy is a young military officer assigned to the diplomatic corps as William the Sudden of Germany threatens to storm across the borders of Luxembourg. Events are set in motion as Hardy is accosted on the train by a desperate young man who is also 25 and has similar features described in his passport. At gunpoint, he demands that they exchange passports. Hardy accepts, exchanges gunfire, and winds up thrown into prison under an assumed identity. The events come fast and furious in this romance as a mysterious woman comes to visit the prisoner who she assumes to be someone else. Hardy, not knowing who he is assumed to be, kisses the woman and assures her of his love. Eventually, Hardy is released to the American office, assigned to the staff of the Duke of Luxembourg. Four romantic couples find each other. In the case of the Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg, they overcome obstacles in their marriage. A political uprising in the form of a revolt with the armed forces is handled. The army is locked in the cellar with the wine. The good queen of Holland comes to prevent German aggression. This is a sweet story that unfolds with speed. Chambers gives his narrator Gilbert Hardy wit and a touch of sass as he relates the events of the story. Enjoy!
