A serialized novel likely written in the early 20th century. This installment continues to explore the themes of love, social class, and political conflict through the experiences of the main character, Cynthia Wetherell, who grapples with her feelings for Jethro Bass amidst societal pressures and expectations. The narrative uses Cynthia's personal struggles as a lens to reflect broader societal issues, particularly the corrupting influence of wealth and power. At the start of this segment, Cynthia feels an overwhelming sense of loss and conflict as she reflects on her love for Bob Worthington while being caught in the turmoil surrounding Jethro Bass, her guardian, who is embroiled in political strife. The chapter delves into her emotional journey as she interacts with friends at Miss Sadler’s school, experiences the fallout from negative newspaper articles about Jethro, and ultimately decides to return to Coniston. This decision marks the beginning of her quest for truth and resolution, compelling her to confront Jethro about the allegations made against him. The opening lays the groundwork for an intense exploration of loyalty, love, and the moral dilemmas that define the characters' lives.
