Guy Mannering
Authorship not stated
A wrong turn on the moor brings you, a young astrologer fresh from Oxford, to Ellangowan on the night its heir is born. Godfrey Bertram asks you to cast the newborn's horoscope, and the chart you draw marks three dangerous years ahead of him, far more than idle calculation should find. Before dawn, Meg Merrilies arrives uninvited to bless the child and warn that the house's mounting debts endanger him more than any star, leaving you to decide how much of the omen his father should ever see.
