Chapter
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…-
