The Upstart of the Lake and the Mona Lisa Gaze
Hamilton notices a socially ostracised gray girl skating alone on General Bingham's lake. He becomes obsessed, learns her name Valerie Carton, and grows entangled with Valerie and the Milne family amid a tense cloud of rumor, class, and a looming obstacle to their union. Valerie quietly reveals her feelings before abruptly dismissing him, leaving Hamilton to cope with loss and uncertain future.
