| Summary | "In the Name of the People" by Arthur W. Marchmont is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Ralph Donnington, an Englishman who arrives in Lisbon with a dual purpose: to pursue a romantic interest in the beautiful Miralda Dominguez and to explore business opportunities related to mining concessions in East Africa. As he navigates his quest for love and fortune, he becomes embroiled in the political unrest of the city, facing danger and intrigue along the way. At the start of the narrative, Ralph writes a letter to his sister, detailing his arrival in Lisbon and his eagerness to reunite with Miralda. However, his initial excitement quickly turns to peril as he finds himself caught in the chaos of a street riot, where he witnesses the brutality of the police and the desperation of the mob. Following this tumultuous introduction, Ralph’s determination to see Miralda leads him to unexpected dangers, including a confrontation with armed assailants holding a mysterious woman captive. This encounter sets the stage for a series of dramatic events involving political conspiracies, romantic entanglements, and the growing threats posed by the unrest in the city.
