THE FIRST VIOLIN 


Jessie Fothergill 


The First Violin 


by Jessie Fothergill (1851-1891) 


May Wedderburn is a quiet provincial 
girl, living in small and seemingly 
boring Skernford. Underneath the dull 
exterior, there is mystery, Suspicion 
and fear in this little town, 
surrounding the austere local wealthy 
landowner who is very interested in 
marrying poor May. It looks as though 
she will have to marry him whether 
she likes it or not until an 
unsuspected alliance is formed 
between her and a respected old lady. They both escape to 
Germany where music and excitement await them.
