Sons of fire, Vol. II.

In the quiet elegance of Discombe Manor, music and sport interlace the lives of a close‑knit family. Suzette’s diligent organ practice and Allan’s steady visits create a tranquil rhythm, while Mrs. Wornock’s son, Geoffrey, bursts onto the scene with a restless zeal for hunting, horses, and impromptu piano performances that delight yet unsettle the household’s calm.

Geoffrey’s flamboyant spirit brings both laughter and disruption, especially as his mother clings to spiritualist fantasies that border on the absurd. His boisterous presence forces Allan to confront an uneasy curiosity about the younger man’s motives, while the looming shadow of secret hopes and hidden doubts hints at deeper entanglements yet to surface.
