| Summary | "Cord and Creese" by James De Mille is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The narrative begins with the arrival of a letter from England to a man named Louis Brandon in Sydney, Australia, triggering a series of events tied to family tragedy, adventure, and intrigue. The story hints at themes of revenge and discovery as Brandon grapples with his father's distressing letter and the revelation that sets him on a path to confront a dark past. At the start of the book, the arrival of the English mail on a ship stirs excitement among the townsfolk in Sydney. Brandon, a junior partner in a commission business, receives a letter from his estranged father, which brings shocking news about family misfortunes and the betrayal of a man named Potts, who has caused their downfall. The letter reveals the father's desperation, urging his son to return home to help their family and seek vengeance. Following this life-changing revelation, Brandon resolves to leave his promising life in Australia, setting the stage for a compelling adventure filled with mystery and the pursuit of justice.
