The Golden Bed by Wallace Irwin
The excerpt follows Margaret Peake as she navigates a grand house and a tangled social world. Family lineage, romantic complications, and the tension between duty and desire frame her experiences among relatives, friends, and a suitor named Jeff Carter.
Fragmentary reminiscence on a religious revival and public confession
The passage recalls a man and his wife praising a program that "definitely worked out" while he pledged to prove a misfactory investment. Earlier he attended a religious revival and claimed to have saved his heart in public. He confessed sins before an audience of Monterey residents, noting there was no scarlet stain as Adinah if he had been disposed to expose it.
