Publisher Description
“The Box Tunnel” tells the story of a bet between two soldiers, travelling on a train across Britain, in the spring of 1847, that one of them will not manage to kiss one of the two other ladies travelling in the carriage. One of these ladies is pretty, the other rather unattractive. The young soldier takes up the bet, and when the train reaches the box tunnel, just after Swindon, he commits the outrage on the delicious young Miss Haythorne. This ungentlemanly conduct cannot be allowed to go unpunished, and Miss Haythorne takes a most unexpected revenge.

About Charles Reade
Charles Reade (1814–1884), born at Ipsden, Oxfordshire, was a dramatist and author. His novels were popular, and he was among England’s highest-paid novelists. However, many libraries refused to carry his works on the grounds that they were indecent, such as referring to the pregnancy of an unmarried woman in his most famous work, The Cloister and the Hearth, now recognized as one of the most successful historical novels of the time.
