A Diplomatic Bent and a Tale of Love and Lies
A narrator recounts tutoring Alec Kirk while pursuing a diplomatic career. Alec falls for Miss Martha Collingwood, while the narrator manipulates events using Miss Gladys Hoyle to provoke a love triangle. After clashes at a tennis game and hints of scandal, Alec confesses an affair, and the father’s political influence finally helps secure a diplomatic appointment for the narrator, who departs with the boy ill and the future unsure.
