L. (Robert Louis) Osbourne, Lloyd 1868 1947 Osbourne, Samuel Lloyd Osborne, Lloyd The Ebb-Tide: A Trio And Quartette Produced by Dianne Bean, and David Widger "The Ebb-Tide: A Trio And Quartette" by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne is a fictional narrative set in the late 19th century. It showcases the struggles of three disenchanted men – Robert Herrick, an unfulfilled clerk; a disgraced American mariner named Brown; and a dubious Cockney clerk named Huish – as they navigate their desperate lives on the beaches of Tahiti, haunted by their past failures. The story explores themes of identity, desperation, and moral decay amid the tropical beauty and harsh realities of island life. At the start of the narrative, the three men are introduced on a cold night on the beach, clearly suffering from hunger and illness, discussing their downfalls and regrets. Robert Herrick, the most reflective of the trio, clings to a tattered copy of Virgil as a reminder of his lost potential. As they converse, their camaraderie is strained by Herrick's relentless shame and Huish's crude humor. The bleak realities of their existence, including the rise of an influenza outbreak on the island, lend a heavy atmosphere to their interactions. As they try to survive the night, their plight sets the stage for a deeper exploration of their collective failures and the possibility of redemption through a radical decision that may lie ahead.
