Armadale
Authorship not stated
You are Allan Armadale, a candid young boat-builder, when a fevered stranger is carried into a Somersetshire inn with nothing to identify him but two well-worn books and the initials O. M. You visit him every morning while he recovers, and Ozias Midwinter turns out to know rigging better than any hand you have hired, becoming the friend you want beside you on your new yacht. Your mother's fear of his hidden past forces him to leave rather than explain himself, and you ride out after him into the rain.
