A Marriage at Sea
Produced by Al Haines
"A Marriage at Sea" by William Clark Russell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Herbert Barclay, a young man determined to elope with his beloved, Grace Bellassys, under the cover of darkness and with the assistance of his loyal captain, Caudel. Set against the backdrop of the sea, the novel promises a blend of romance, adventure, and the challenges of societal expectations. The opening of "A Marriage at Sea" introduces readers to a tense, clandestine atmosphere as Herbert and Caudel prepare for the elopement. It’s a breathless midnight in Boulogne harbor, and they carefully navigate the challenges of evading the customs officer while waiting for Grace to arrive. Readers witness the excitement and trepidation of Herbert as he holds on to a letter from Grace that outlines their escape plan. The tension builds when they hear a barking dog, and the young couple's courage is tested as they attempt to make their way aboard the yacht, the "Spitfire". This initial chapter paints a vivid picture of romance laced with danger, compelling the reader to journey with them through their daring escape and the perils that may follow on the open seas.
