In which the genteel society of Redcastle is introduced through a visit from the stately Cardonnel siblings to the pretty and restless Sibyl Faunthorpe, whose family contrasts with the county folk in manners and circumstance. We glimpse the tender yet strained relations within the Faunthorpe household as Sibyl seeks comfort from her unkempt youngest sister amid the hot July days and the murmurs of local gossip.
