Sisters Destinies and a Gift of Independence
Nesta Fairthorne, heiress by tale but with a hidden name, leaves Ruth to seek a new life as companion to an invalid lady. Ruth fears Raymond’s response to Nesta’s absence and Mrs Bancroft’s wealth plans, while Nesta accepts a hidden address and a pledge of secrecy as she begins a distant, sorrowful journey.
