Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/51455The lot of a younger son was less assured than his older brother in days gone by. It was worse for his descendent, especially if he wanted to marry above his means. Such is the case for young Ralph Woodhall. He is a scholar, but is not attracted by the usual professions. He wishes to make his name -- and fortune -- and win the hand of his love, Margaret. On a whim, the couple visit an astrologer, who tells them that,although there are many trials ahead, happiness will eventually be theirs. With this in mind, Ralph sets out on his adventures.

If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
