Hallo friends,

Today Owen narrates Chapter 12 of Lady Audley’s Secret

Published in the London Journal from 1863

The Victorian Periodical Parade podcast is a time traveling vessel, going back 160 years to see what folks were interested in, and how they lived their daily lives.  As it turns out they were folks just like us, coming up with reasons to do things, reasons for why things happened, and attempting to make sense of it all. There is much that we can learn about our daily life, by reading stories from the Victorian Era. So far Lady Audley’s Secret has been about middle to upper class life, with a glimpse at lower to impoverished classes, and learning can be had!

In Chapter 12 of Lady Audley’s Secret Mr. Audley heads to South Hampton to see if George is staying there to see Georgie. It turns out that is exactly what Goerge has done. In the small cottage Robert comes across a startling telegraph, that was partially burned. He doesn’t know who sent it, and he doesn’t lay much stake to the fact that it was half burnt, but he keeps it and sets out after George as normal. Where did it come from? Who sent it? What does it all mean? Find out in today’s reading...
