| Summary | "Ada, the Betrayed; or, The Murder at the Old Smithy. A Romance of Passion" by John Malcolm Rymer is a dramatic novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The tale unfolds around a tumultuous storm that ravages the village of Learmont, setting the stage for a gripping story filled with themes of love, betrayal, and murder. The characters, notably Andrew Britton, a brutish smith, and Jacob Gray, a mysterious figure, find themselves entwined in a dark conspiracy that drives the narrative forward. The opening of "Ada, the Betrayed" begins with a catastrophic storm that devastates the village, leading to the destruction of the Old Smithy and an eruption of chaos among the inhabitants. Amidst the frenzy, a man is seen fleeing the burning house with a child, fueling the townspeople's fears of a murder within the flames. As the villagers grapple with horror and uncertainty, characters like the madwoman Mad Maud and the ambitious Andrew Britton are introduced, hinting at deeper secrets tied to the bloody events of the night. Thus, the stage is set for a tale filled with intrigue, psychological tension, and the supernatural as the characters navigate a world steeped in calamity and conspiracy.
