A Christmas Visit At Monk's Hall
In a late Victorian drawing room a narrator recalls a bright Christmas day and a church service. Darby, a clever child, meets Sir Ralph and the nephew, Yorke Ferrers, as relatives mingle at the family home and later tour Monk's Hall with portraits of forebears. Tension flares over perceptions of age and status, then a plan for more visits is arranged.
