Rug of Fate Drives Farraday Family Through Tragedy
A narrator recalls the Farraday clan from childhood as Aunt Abbey’s will leaves Mrs. Farraday a golden Oriental rug. The rug reshapes the family fortunes, drives them to move, and coincides with Dora’s betrayal, Skippy’s death, and the widowed Ellen’s quiet endurance, ending with the suspicion that Aunt Abbey engineered the rug’s magnetism.
