Ends a Love Triangle in Oregon Family Drama
In a household of wealthy grandparents in the northwest, Anne and Cecily, aged 28 and 32, support their widowed home with income from secretarial work while Mary Frances, 13, attends school. Anne may be engaged to Philip Ecroyd, a young lawyer, but marriage seems unlikely as the couple shoulder the burden of a fragile family life and Cecily entertains hopes for Barry McHiel, a visiting suitor. The scene follows a tense dinner and awkward questions from Grand as the sisters navigate romance, health, and money amidst the strained, polite pretenses of their wealth. The chapter ends with a bustling family dinner and a distant phone interruption.
