Summary: "The Broken Thread" by William Le Queux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Raife Remington, a young undergraduate at Cambridge, who becomes captivated by a mysterious girl named Gilda Tempest during a summer break in Southport. The narrative unfolds amidst a backdrop of intrigue and tragedy, particularly following a shocking event that impacts Raife's life and family. The opening of the novel establishes an idyllic summer morning on Southport's seafront, where Raife first encounters Gilda while she is walking her little dog. Their immediate attraction is complicated by a sudden and violent incident involving an aggressive dog, leading to Raife's rescue of Gilda's pet. This chance meeting quickly develops into a conversation where Gilda reveals hints about her tumultuous life, including her nomadic existence with an uncle who travels frequently. However, the tone shifts when Raife discovers her unease upon learning his family lineage. As the chapter unfolds, Raife receives urgent news that compels him to return home, where a tragic revelation about his father's murder begins to intertwine with his burgeoning feelings for Gilda, setting the stage for a deeper, complex narrative filled with suspense and emotion.
