- Biografía breve
- W.B. Maxwell was the third surviving child of novelist Mary Elizabeth Braddon and her husband John Maxwell, a publisher. He became a novelist and playwright and was a prolific author of short stories. His first work, The Countess of Maybury, was published in 1901. He followed it with a novel every year until 1913. His plays included The Last Man In, a drama produced at the Royalty Theatre, Glasgow, and The Naked Truth, a comical farce first played at Wyndham's Theatre, London, in 1910. At the outbreak of World War I, he volunteered for the British Army, though nearly 50 years old at the time, and served as a lieutenant with the Royal Fusiliers in France until 1917.

The wild talk of taking Gladys with him on his travels was of course nonsense. He could not have done it, even if there had been no promise to her brother. He had promised to secure the future for her. But he had never said he would stay with her. When once he had rendered her safe, he could hold himself free in honour as in fact.
If not, his life would have been too futile, too absurd; for, should fate compel him to go on thus indefinitely, he might just as well have never moved at all, but be now still at Wychwood, and working for somebody called Elsie instead of Gladys...… (más)
