Holly Tree Inn tale continues with a dream woman
In a fragment of Charles Dickens style prose, Isaac Scotchard recalls a dream woman guiding his fate. He rises from hardship to a solid position but falls under the spell of Rebecca Murdoch, a social climber who manipulates him, mirrors a dream from seven years prior, and drives a tragic chain of deceit, marriage, and ruin culminating in tension with his mother and a looming, unresolved threat.
