An Uncounted Hour
An Uncounted Hour begins with the narrator, Mr. Carter, and Lady Mickleham in their usual element—surrounded by gentle luxury, cloaked in wit, and indulging in casual defiance of conventional behavior. The two lounge outside at The Towers, where Dolly feeds the family dog a delicacy more suited for aristocratic guests than a retriever. Their banter dances easily from the absurdity of spending habits to the perceived tragedy of cutting corners in anticipation of hypothetical poverty. Lady Mickleham, in…-

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.

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…-

A Reminiscence
A Reminiscence opens with Mrs. Hilary deep in the serious task of sourcing a suitable governess—one equipped with a strict curriculum, refined manners, and a moral backbone unbending enough to mold young girls into paragons of propriety. Her requirements, outlined with the precision of a civil servant drafting policy, receive polite nods from Miss Phyllis and the more irreverent attention of Mr. Carter. As she dictates a letter to the agency, Carter, bored by the administrative nature of the…-

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…-
