Chapter
Chapter XXIV — Crome yellow
Chapter XXIV opens with Denis entering a quiet drawing room and coming across Jenny’s red sketchbook—an unassuming object that quickly becomes a mirror he’s unprepared to face. Curiosity leads him to flip through its pages, despite an earlier hint that its contents are not meant for his eyes. Inside, Jenny has rendered everyone at Crome in brutally honest caricatures, each accompanied by pointed captions. The humor is sharp, but what stings most is the accuracy. For Denis, her drawing reduces his…-

Chapter XXVII — Crome yellow
Chapter XXVII begins with an absurd yet magnetic performance as Mr. Scogan takes on his theatrical alter ego, “Sesostris, the Sorceress of Ecbatana.” Draped in flamboyant robes and heavy with mock mysticism, he draws a crowd eager for entertainment, not enlightenment. One by one, the guests offer their palms and receive cryptic fates—some grave, others comically vague. The sorceress performs with dramatic gravity, her voice thick with prophetic flair, turning every word into a spectacle. Denis,…-

Chapter XXVIII ‑Crome yellow
Chapter XXVIII opens in the fading light of day, where the village fair begins its spirited descent into evening’s festivities. Bright acetylene lamps flicker to life, throwing sharp, shifting shadows across the open space where dancers gather in joyful chaos. Bodies move in rhythm, feet echoing on the hard ground, laughter rising above the crackling music. Denis watches from the edge, present yet apart, caught between the pull of the scene and the weight of his thoughts. Around him swirl the…-

Chapter XXIX — Crome yellow
Chapter XXIX finds the mood at Crome turning inward, echoing the tension left behind by the revelry of the fair. Beneath the quiet surface, emotions churn.

Her words cut through his pretense, challenging not only his motives but his perception of intimacy. What unfolds is more than personal rejection—it’s a refusal to play into…-

Chapter XXX — Crome Yellow
Chapter XXX unfolds with a jolt, as Denis is roused from sleep by Mary’s sharp prompt. The request is simple—send a telegram—but Denis turns it into a theatrical pivot in his life. He drafts a message commanding his own urgent return to town, fabricating an obligation that justifies escape. For once, he acts decisively, and that novelty grants him a strange thrill. He’s rarely known clarity, often tangled in internal hesitations, but this moment gives him a temporary illusion of control. It’s…-

Mr. Harding plays his beloved cello, unaware that John Bold is drawing closer, carrying questions that might shake the foundation of this familiar harmony.
