Madame Midas is a novel written by Fergus Hume, first published in 1888. The story is set in the goldfields of Ballarat, Australia during the late 19th century. The protagonist, Madame Midas, is a beautiful and wealthy woman who inherits a large sum of money and decides to invest in a gold mine. She quickly becomes involved in the dangerous and corrupt world of gold mining, where she must navigate the treacherous waters of greed, betrayal, and murder. Along the way, she meets a cast of colorful characters, including her business partner, a charming but unscrupulous man named Gaston Vandeloup, who becomes both her lover and her greatest adversary. As the plot thickens, Madame Midas finds herself embroiled in a web of deceit and danger, and must use all of her wit and cunning to survive. Madame Midas is a gripping tale of love, greed, and adventure, and is widely regarded as one of Hume's most successful novels.Hastily waving for the men to go away, she applied remedies, and Madame soon revived. Vandeloup had gone outside with McIntosh, and was asking him about the robbery, and then told him in return about Villiers' movements on that night. Selina called them in again, as Madame wanted to hear all about her husband, and Vandeloup was just entering when he turned to McIntosh.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
