4.9/5 (9748 ratings)

Description:Originally published in 1899. The heroine of this novel is an Irish girl who becomes a famous actress. We first meet her at a race gathering in Ireland, her occupation being that of assistant to her aunt, an eccentric character who had come over from the States and "ran" a travelling photographic "show," as its owner called it. " She was well-known throughout the country towns, race courses, and seaside resorts of Ireland. So was the girl, whose flowing wild hair and untidy garments had gained her the nickname of 'Petticoat Loose.' Brianna Lynch has a sweetheart, Pat Rooney, a dare-devil jockey, who gets killed at the beginning of the story; and very soon after this event the girl leaves her tyrannical, loud-voiced relative and becomes a play-actress, to that lady's intense annoyance and indignation. Brianna is indebted for this important change in her life to Mickey Croom, a hunchback, employed by the lady photographer as a "handy man." He is deeply attached to the girl into whose society he is constantly thrown, and he had acted as her tutor. After a year's experience with the touring company Brianna comes to London, and, by a rare stroke of good luck, is engaged to appear in a new piece at the Delphic Theatre, where the leading lady is a Miss Roy St. Vincent, who befriends the young actress, and is quick to discover her talent. Brianna makes a triumphant debut on the London stage; and her next engagement is at the Caviare Theatre, where she undertakes the principal role in a curious play written by a new author, Raemore Clive, a mysterious being who gains a living as a professional clairvoyant. He exercises a subtle, but powerful, influence over Brianna Lynch, and wants to make her his wife, even against her will. Meantime, Mickey, the hunchback undertakes a dangerous operation in order to correct his deformity in order to make him a worthwhile contender for Brianna's hand in marriage.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
