With Edged Tools is a novel written by Henry Seton Merriman. The story revolves around a young man named John Chilcote, who is a member of the British Parliament. He is ambitious and determined to achieve success in his political career. However, his personal life is in shambles as he is in love with a woman named Cynthia, who is already married to someone else.As John tries to balance his political ambitions with his love life, he becomes embroiled in a scandal that threatens to ruin his career. He must navigate through the treacherous waters of politics and society to clear his name and salvage his reputation.The novel is set in the late 19th century and provides a vivid portrayal of British society and politics during that time. It explores themes such as love, ambition, power, and betrayal. The characters are well-developed and the plot is engaging, making it a compelling read for fans of historical fiction and political dramas.Overall, With Edged Tools is a gripping novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of British politics and society in the late 19th century.Since sunset he had been crawling, scrambling, stumbling up the bank of this stream in relentless pursuit of some large animal which persistently kept hidden in the tangle across the bed of the river. The strange part of it was that when he stopped to peep through the branches the animal stopped too, and he found no way of discovering its whereabouts. More than once they remained thus for nearly five minutes, peering at each other through the heavy leafage. It was distinctly unpleasant, for Meredith felt that the animal was not afraid of him, and did not fully understand the situation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
