| 520 | _a"When It Was Dark: The Story of a Great Conspiracy" by Guy Thorne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a clerical setting, concentrating on the conflicts between faith and skepticism in a darkening world influenced by a looming conspiracy against Christianity. It follows the interactions among the parish vicar, Mr. Byars, his curate Basil Gortre, and a controversial millionaire, Mr. Schuabe, who embodies the secular challenges to their beliefs. The opening of the story establishes a gloomy atmosphere in Walktown, where the characters navigate their stark realities within the church and their broader societal context. Mr. Hinchcliffe, a sexton, engages in his work at the church while the curate, Basil Gortre, struggles with disapproval from his congregation regarding his religious expressions. The vicar, Mr. Byars, reflects on his challenges in reaching his parishioners and the impending departure of Gortre to London. The introduction of Mr. Schuabe sets the stage for the ideological conflicts between materialism and spiritual conviction, creating a palpable tension that hints at the greater conspiracy that will unfold. As darkness gathers outside, symbolically reflecting the characters' struggles, the narrative prepares the reader for the profound challenges of faith that lie ahead.
