What's Bred in the Bone by Grant Allen
"What's Bred in the Bone" by Grant Allen is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Elma Clifford, a young woman whose life takes an unexpected turn after a chance encounter with an artist named Cyril Waring on a train. Entering the story during an accident that strands the two characters in a dark tunnel, the novel highlights themes of connection and the nature of intuition
in relationships. The opening of the book introduces Elma as she rushes to catch a train, only to find herself in a carriage with the artist Cyril Waring. Their initial interaction is playful and filled with tension, particularly when a snake that Cyril owns creates a moment of surprise. As they converse, an accident occurs, causing them to become trapped in the tunnel for an extended period. This predicament catalyzes a deeper emotional engagement between Elma and Cyril, exposing their vulnerabilities. The mix of adventure, danger, and budding romance sets a compelling tone for their relationship and hints at Elma's struggle with her feelings amidst societal expectations.
