Chapter
The Very Latest Thing
The Very Latest Thing begins in the intimate setting of a smoking room where Lady Mickleham, with her characteristic blend of charm and provocation, unveils her newest social experiment: a confession album. Unlike a guestbook filled with pleasantries, this one demands sincerity—real, unvarnished opinions from her friends, sealed with the honor not to flatter. Mr. Carter, no stranger to Dolly’s whims, reacts with amused reluctance. He teases the absurdity of it all, wary of the consequences that…-

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…-

Chapter
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…-

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…-
