The Night of Cyril Graves and the London River Rescue
Cyril Graves, a politician famed for his debates, confronts his estranged wife Bertha who seeks reconciliation after their bitter separation. After a violent argument over money and marriage, Bertha’s distress leads him to a midnight walk on the embankment where a police constable warns him of danger. Graves dives into the river to save the drowning woman, only to discover it is Bertha. Exhausted, he sinks before rescuers can reach them. A London charity figure, unnamed, is praised for aiding outcasts, while a later note mentions local society happenings and temperance notes.
