Description

A novel first published in 1830. It is the story of a man who leads a dual life as a highwayman and a society gentleman.

First Sentence

IT was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents-except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
