Chapter II – Father and Son
Chapter II – Father and Son unfolds within the silent walls of Hermiston, where distance defines the relationship more than any shared blood. Adam Weir, Lord Justice-Clerk, governs not only the court but also his household with the same sternness and absence of warmth. His role as a judge has consumed whatever gentleness may once have lived in him, leaving behind a man whose affection is buried beneath command. His son Archie, bright and perceptive, senses this void from early childhood. Though provided…-

Chapter II – Dawn O’Hara, The Girl Who Laughed Trashed begins not with drama, but with eggs. Dawn finds herself removed from the frenzied chaos of New York and placed into the gentle rhythm of life at her sister Norah’s serene home. There, in a quiet room that smells of lavender and fresh linens, she confronts the peculiar monotony of convalescence. Meals revolve around eggs—soft-boiled, scrambled, in custards and in puddings—each bite a reminder of how far she’s come from the caffeine-fueled…

With his wife, Olga, and their daughter, Sasha, beside him, the scene they encounter is bleak—crumbling buildings, barefoot children, and a home stripped of dignity. The interior is dark,…-

Chapter I presents the village of Ukleevo as both humble and harsh, shaped by its environment and the quiet decline of rural traditions. The land is drained by fever and the smoke of small industries that barely lift the people above subsistence. Local legends revolve not around greatness, but around oddities, such as the tale of a deacon who once overindulged in caviare at a funeral—humorous yet symbolic of how even minor events mark the town’s memory. This story, passed around in whispers, becomes…

His wife, Jean Rutherford, gentle and devout, struggles silently beneath the weight of her husband's unyielding expectations. She comes from a lineage known for boldness, but in her, that fire has softened into meekness. Her piety is sincere, but it isolates her rather than…
