When Marian King entered, she brought not just information but presence—firm and capable, with a kind of warmth that disarmed without softening the truth. Her youth…-

In this chapter titled The Man Who Hunts and Doesn’t Like It, introduces a reflection on those who ride not for pleasure, but to meet social expectations. The hunt, for them, is less about exhilaration and more about obligation—a performance played out in boots and breeches to maintain appearances within a community that reveres tradition.
