The Murder of Delicia

(4 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)

The following slight and unelaborated sketch of a very commonplace and everyday tragedy will, I am aware, meet with the unqualified disapproval of the 'superior' sex. They will assert, with much indignant emphasis, that the character of 'Lord Carlyon' is an impossible one, and that such a 'cad' as he is shown to be never existed. Anticipating these remarks, I have to say in reply that the two chief personages in my story, namely, 'Lord Carlyon' and his wife, are drawn strictly from the life; and, that though both the originals have some years since departed from this scene of earthly contest and misunderstanding, so that my delineation of their characters can no longer grieve or offend either, the 'murder of Delicia' was consummated at the hands of her husband precisely in the way I have depicted it. - Summary by Marie Corelli (6 hr 17 min)

I got two-thirds of the way through the first chapter and I wanted to murder Delicia myself. Little Miss Perfect in Every Way! There was nothing other than florid praise for her perfection, hard work and success in every part of her life. I hope her murderer got away.
