"The First Violin" (1877) is Jessie Fothergill's third novel. It was written in Düsseldorf and tells the story of an English girl who rejects the attentions of the rich farmer for the strange attractions of a German. The story was refused by two publishers because it dealt with an affair by a married woman. Excerpt: The door was opened. Jane held it open and said nothing (a trifling habit of hers, which used to cause me much annoyance), and a tall woman walked slowly into the room.
