520			_a"Joshua Haggard's daughter, Vol. 1 (of 3)" by M. E. Braddon is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set in a Devon fishing village, it centers on the commanding Nonconformist minister and shopkeeper Joshua Haggard and his thoughtful daughter Naomi, whose lives intersect with the proud, impoverished Pentreaths after a dramatic sea rescue. The story promises moral conflict, class friction, and quiet emotional undercurrents as faith, duty, and desire pull the characters in different directions. The opening of the novel plunges Combhaven into a violent storm as fishermen watch the Squire’s son Oswald Pentreath drift toward a deadly reef; while they hesitate, Joshua Haggard launches a dinghy alone and, after a perilous struggle, rescues Oswald and his crew. He carries the unconscious heir to his own home, where his capable sister Judith revives him, and Oswald—surprised by the family’s austere piety—stays for prayers and a plain supper, impressed despite himself. Villagers mutter superstitions about rescued men turning against their saviors, while at the Haggards’ table Naomi’s seriousness and restless imagination emerge beside her brother Jim’s irreverent jokes. Oswald then returns to the bleak, frugal Grange and his miserly, cold father, highlighting their strained bond. At dawn he rides past Joshua’s bustling, spotless shop, trades civilities, and we see Judith’s suspicion of the “pretty” young squire. The section closes with Oswald mourning the loss of his little yacht and brooding over a future tied to his father’s estate and the faraway brother, Arnold, who fled to sea.
