520			_a"Nina's peril" by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller is a novel written in the late 19th century. It is a melodramatic romance of jealousy and scandal that follows Nina Strangemore, a young heiress married in childhood to Talbot Strangemore, whose return from years abroad entangles them with the bewitching widow Sibyl St. Alban. Expect high emotion, sharp turns of fate, and a blend of domestic drama and suspense as love, pride, and reputation collide. The opening of the novel begins on a wintry night with a beautiful young woman buying laudanum and drinking it, then swiftly rewinds to trace how she reached this despair. We meet Nina, who daily watches the shore for Talbot’s return, and learn her past: an orphaned heiress married at thirteen to her stepbrother Talbot at his mother’s deathbed wish, then left for years while he traveled abroad. Talbot comes home, confides to his austere aunt that he regrets the marriage and loves another, and Nina overhears, steeling herself even as she presents a cool, dignified front when they finally meet. Talbot’s yachting friends arrive—including Sibyl St. Alban—prompting a charged conservatory scene, Nina’s public outburst, and a fainting fit. That night Sibyl secretly visits Nina, twists the truth, steals a repentant love letter Talbot had slipped under Nina’s door, and goads Nina into vowing to free him; Nina slips out into the night. The sequence culminates in a shock: a mysterious intruder murders Sibyl in her room, the household rushes in panic, and a misplaced letter addressed to Nina hints at looming suspicion—setting the stage for the peril to come.
