The Channings is a novel written by Mrs. Henry Wood, first published in 1862. The story revolves around the Channing family, who are struggling to maintain their social status and wealth in the face of financial difficulties. The head of the family, Mr. Channing, is a proud and stubborn man who refuses to accept help from his wealthy brother-in-law, Mr. Granger. Meanwhile, his daughter, Edith, is courted by two suitors: the wealthy and arrogant Captain George, and the kind and humble lawyer, Mr. Galloway. As the family's financial situation worsens, tensions rise and secrets are revealed, leading to a dramatic conclusion. The novel explores themes of pride, class, and the consequences of one's actions. It is a classic Victorian novel that provides a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the era.How uncommonly stupid it was of you to do so! said Bywater, pretending to take the remark literally. I would not keep a duplicate pair of keys by me--I should make sure they'd bring me to grief. What do you say? You did not keep duplicate keys--they were false ones! Why, that's just what we all told you last night. The bishop told you so. He said he knew you had made a mistake, and taken out the wrong keys for the right. My belief is, that you went out without any keys at all. You left them hanging upon the nail, and you found them there. You had not got a second pair!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
