The Ordeal of Richard Feverel 3 - The Magian Conflict

The George Meredith Library · Sep 7, 2026 · 10m

In which the steadfast laws of boyish loyalty and honour govern the companionship of two young lads stranded in a sudden shower, while their fortunes and philosophies are observed through the chance encounter of a wandering tinker and a stoic countryman debating the vagaries of life and hardship. Their discourse, rich in rustic wisdom and humour, unfolds beneath a sober autumn sky, setting a quietly poignant backdrop to the boys’ predicament and the unfolding human tableau.
