Answer 1

The lines have been taken from the novel ' The Moonstone' by British writer Wilkie Collins.

These lines are the starting prologue in which our protagonist explains the reasons for differences between him and his cousin, John Herncastle.

In this essay he tries to explain the magical qualities of Moonstone - a yellow diamond - which was suspected to be stolen by his cousin during a conflict.
