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…-

Un Morso doo Pang begins in a quiet, firelit room, where Tessie repeats a foreign phrase with hesitant precision. Her voice wavers, not from a lack of courage, but from the weight of the moment—it’s not just a lesson in language, but a declaration of intent. Angie, patient and grounded, corrects her gently, encouraging not just her pronunciation but her self-belief. Tessie’s lips form the words again, this time with more clarity, her eyes lit by something deeper than understanding. It’s hope.…-

The Woman Who Tried to Be Good begins with the quiet shock of a town unprepared to witness a woman like Blanche Devine change her life.

She sold the house with its closed shutters and secrets, then bought a little white cottage near the edge of town. What…

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…-

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…-

The Maternal Feminine [1919]
The Maternal Feminine begins in a room where the atmosphere is tense but quiet, filled with a stillness that holds space for both anticipation and mourning. Sophy, seated calmly with her hands gently resting in her lap, looked every bit the composed elder, yet behind her quiet exterior was an awareness of the weight about to descend. 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…-

The Little Wretch
The Little Wretch begins with Mrs. Hilary Musgrave sternly condemning young Johnny Tompkins, labeling him with disdain for his past indiscretions. To her, Johnny represents wasted potential and a dangerous flirtation with crime, especially after he embezzled nearly a thousand pounds. The fact that he wasn’t prosecuted, thanks to Hilary Musgrave’s influence, unsettles her more than she lets on. Mr. Carter, however, adopts his usual inquisitive charm, prodding gently at Mrs. Musgrave’s harsh…-

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.…-

The Gay Old Dog [1917]
The Gay Old Dog opens with Jo Hertz, a middle-aged bachelor, navigating the lively streets of Chicago as troops prepare to march off to war. The festive chaos of the city contrasts sharply with Jo's internal stillness—a quiet longing that has been buried beneath years of indulgence and denial. While others look to the future with hope or fear, Jo stands suspended in the past, contemplating the pieces of life he never got to live. It is this emotional disconnect, set against a backdrop of patriotic…-
