A Tale of Cambridge Life and a Quiet Love
An undergraduate narrator recalls six years at Cambridge, a late fellowship path, and a covert romance with Astarte Smith and her sisters. He records a mentor’s support, a costly but hopeful path abroad as tutor to Phelim Fitz Some, and the plan to secure a future amid modest means and scholarly ties.
