East Lynne Chapter 27 - Barbara's Misdoings, pt 1
In which the late summer evening finds the Hare household ensnared in tender domestic strife, as Justice Hare impatiently chides his daughter Barbara for her reluctance to accept the advances of Major Thorn, while an unwelcome report concerning her brother Richard’s supposed return to West Lynne stirs a tempest of fear and suspicion. Mr. Carlyle’s presence serves as both solicitor and silent comforter amid these troubled revelations, as hopes for truth and peace waver quietly in the hearth-lit room.
