[Scott 15; Whatmore F12]
A gloomy, sexy, H. Rider Haggard novel which earned him, at least twice, "anonymous or semi-anonymous letters from ladies who alleged that their husbands, or the husbands of someone connected with them--one of them a middle-aged clergyman--after reading 'Beatrice,' had made advances to young ladies of that name" (cf. Whatmore).

Sinopse
The autumn afternoon was fading into evening. It had been cloudy weather, but the clouds had softened and broken up. Now they were lost in slowly darkening blue. The sea was perfectly and utterly still. It seemed to sleep, but in its sleep it still waxed with the rising tide. The eye could not mark its slow increase, but Beatrice, standing upon the farthest point of the Dog Rocks, idly noted that the long brown weeds which clung about their sides began to lift as the water took their weight, till at last the delicate pattern floated out and lay like a woman's hair upon the green depth of sea.
