Summary "It was a Lover and His Lass" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces readers to the mysterious and unfinished Murkley Castle in the Scottish countryside, where the narrative begins to weave together the lives of its residents and the effects of a wealthy man's poor decisions. At the center of the unfolding tale is a character named Lewis Grantley, who navigates this strange land of unexpected encounters and complicated family histories. The opening of the novel sets a vivid scene with a detailed description of the haunting grandeur of Murkley Castle, which stands as a symbol of folly and unfulfilled dreams. As the protagonist, Lewis arrives in the area, he is escorted by a local man named Duncan. Their conversation reveals intriguing details about the castle’s past and the eccentricities of its former master, Sir Patrick. Lewis expresses an interest in the family who formerly occupied the castle, particularly the disinherited son and the mysterious foreigner who has captured the old man’s affections. The dynamics of their exchange, along with Duncan's skepticism about the locals and their beliefs, lay the groundwork for the exploration of class, heritage, and the intertwining of personal destinies in this quaint yet peculiar village.
