Doctor Austin's Guests is a novel written by William Gilbert in 1866. The book is the first volume of a two-part series and tells the story of a physician named Doctor Austin, who lives in a small English village. The novel revolves around the lives of Doctor Austin and his guests, who are a group of eccentric characters that come to stay with him. The guests include a young woman named Miss Mildmay, who is seeking to escape from her overbearing mother, a wealthy businessman named Mr. Pelter, a retired military officer named Colonel Doherty, and a young man named Mr. Crisparkle, who is studying to become a clergyman. As the story progresses, the guests become embroiled in a series of mysterious and increasingly dangerous events, including a robbery and a murder. Doctor Austin must use his medical skills and intelligence to solve the crimes and protect his guests. The novel is a classic example of Victorian-era literature, with its focus on social class, manners, and morality.
