  • A Laodicean by Thomas Hardy</H1>
    A Laodicean by Thomas Hardy A Laodicean by Thomas Hardy This etext was produced from the 1907 Macmillan and Co. edition by Les Bowler, St. Ives, Dorset. A LAODICEAN: A STORY OF TO-DAY by Thomas Hardy CONTENTS. PREFACE CHAPTERS BOOK THE FIRST. GEORGE SOMERSET. I - XV. BOOK THE SECOND. DARE AND HAVILL. I - VII. BOOK THE THIRD. DE STANCY. I - XI. BOOK THE FOURTH. SOMERSET, DARE, AND DE STANCY. I - V. BOOK THE FIFTH. DE STANCY AND PAULA. I - XIV. BOOK THE SIXTH. PAULA. I - V. PREFACE. page 1 / 707 The changing of the old order in country manors and mansions may be slow or sudden, may have many issues romantic or otherwise, its romantic issues being not necessarily restricted to a change back to the original order; though this admissible instance appears to have been the only romance formerly recognized by novelists as possible in the case. Whether the following production be a picture of other possibilities or not, its incidents may be taken to be fairly well supported by evidence every day forthcoming in most counties. The writing of the tale was rendered memorable to two persons, at least, by a tedious illness of five months that laid hold of the author soon after the story was begun in a well-known magazine; during which period the narrative had to be strenuously continued by dictation to a predetermined cheerful ending. As some of these novels of Wessex life address themselves more especially to readers into whose souls the iron has entered, and whose years have less pleasure in them now than heretofore, so "A Laodicean" may perhaps help to while away an idle afternoon of the comfortable ones whose lines have fallen to them in pleasant places; above all, of that large and happy section of the reading public which has not yet reached page 2 / 707 ripeness of years; those to whom marriage is the pilgrim's Eternal City, and not a milestone on the way.

Here is a neutral organ carrying the messages and announce- ments of the industry from one branch to the other. It is a channel the value of which cannot be overestimated. The distributors need it—must have it—yet they do not use it with full intelligence. The theatre man could not be without it, else how can he keep abreast of the doings in the industry ?
