Tragedy and Honor Cloud Meade Family in Bridge Disaster
Bertram Meade faces a public crisis after the collapse of the Martlet Bridge wrecks amid accusations of fault. He proclaims sole responsibility, seeks to shield his father’s reputation, and endures pressure from Helen Illingworth and colleagues as news of the tragedy spreads. The elder Meade dies, and the fight over blame fractures the family and company.
