Chapter
A Very Fine Day
A Very Fine Day begins with the narrator observing the comings and goings of his cousin George, a young man wrapped in the fog of romantic confusion. George’s affections, though earnest, are more an exercise in admiration than true devotion, and the narrator watches with the tolerant amusement of someone who remembers what it felt like to take such emotions seriously. Mrs. Hilary, always ready with a frown, frames the social stakes early—romantic entanglements, even playful ones, are never free from…-

Chapter
The House Opposite
The House Opposite begins with a spirited recounting of a young man's misadventure—Algy Groom’s ill-fated Paris escapade. Meant to immerse himself in the French language, Algy instead found himself parted from a tidy sum, one hundred pounds entrusted by his father. What could have been a cautionary tale becomes, in the narrator’s telling, the launchpad for a richer conversation about youthful transgressions, the slipperiness of good intentions, and how mischief often disguises itself as experience.…-

Chapter
A Quick Change
A Quick Change begins not with action, but with one of Dolly’s casual complaints—this time, about the dreadful boredom of seeing a play with her husband. She delivers this grievance with practiced charm, knowing full well that Mr. Carter will respond not with judgment, but with playful sympathy. What unfolds is not a debate about marriage or theater, but a slow unraveling of shared memories, flirtations, and unspoken truths. Carter, always measured, doesn’t rise to the bait with grand declarations…-

Chapter
A Slight Mistake
A Slight Mistake begins with a light exchange that immediately sets the tone—Mrs. Hilary prepares for a charitable event with all the seriousness of a general at war, while Mr. Carter offers his support in the form of a rather laughable monetary donation. His contribution, intentionally meager, is less about stinginess and more about his usual blend of detachment and mockery of earnest causes. Mrs. Hilary, determined and mildly exasperated, takes the jest in stride, pressing on about her mission to…-

Chapter
The Other Lady
The Other Lady begins with Carter recounting a near escape from social obligation—a reception he nearly avoided—only to confess to Lady Mickleham that he has fallen in love. The setting is casual, yet every word in their exchange is meticulously crafted with wit and intention. Lady Mickleham, with her signature blend of skepticism and indulgent curiosity, listens as Carter describes the encounter not with restraint, but with the glowing exaggeration of a man happily swept away. He admits the woman is…-

Chapter
What Might Have Been
What Might Have Been begins with the sun blazing down on an otherwise lazy Sunday, the kind of day designed for doing nothing at all. Yet, Dolly, with her characteristic whimsy, declares that the flower pots lining one side of the terrace would look infinitely better on the other. Her suggestion, impractical and ill-timed, carries the soft tyranny of someone who always gets their way through sheer conviction. Archie, ever obliging and faintly exasperated, takes up the task without protest. The rest of the…-

Chapter
One Way In
One Way In opens with a surreal drift into the afterlife, not with fire or golden gates, but with Samuel Carter stepping through a green baize door into what resembles an upscale government office. The space is orderly and slightly dull, lacking the grandeur or terror one might expect. Carter, neither startled nor overly curious, treats the scene with polite detachment, as if checking into a club. The room’s only real feature is a large table where Rhadamanthus—the mythic judge of the dead—sits with…-

Chapter I: The Coming Of Lad
Chapter I: The Coming of Lad begins at a moment when the tranquility of Hampton is unraveling. A string of burglaries—some carried out with precision, others clumsily—has left the once-peaceful village tense and wary. The residents respond in predictable ways: locking doors that had always remained open, fitting latches where none were needed before, and whispering about shadows and strangers. At the Place, a thirty-acre stretch of forest and meadow, the unease feels sharper. Its isolation, once its…-

Chapter II: The Fetish
Chapter II: The Fetish draws to a close not with confrontation, but with quiet transformation. As the constable lay dripping and breathless on the dock, his life newly spared, the figure he focused on was not the Master or Mistress, but the collie who had plunged into the water to save him. Lad, exhausted from the effort, stood nearby, trembling slightly, his gaze calm but alert. Water poured from his thick coat as he shook off the lake’s grip, sending droplets into the air like silver sparks. Despite…-
