Desperate Nan Faces Return of Peter Lyster
In this dramatic passage from a 1925 Americus Times-Recorder page, Nan Marraby confronts Peter Lyster at the garden door as Sefton presses his claim. Nan fears exposure and contemplates the danger of Sefton’s truth, while Peter offers to walk her home. Nan resists, then retreats, torn by shame and longing, as Claudie’s innocent affection separates truth from peril.
