The Day Will Come Volume 1 Chapter 12

In which Theodore Dalbrook encounters Madame Coralie, the widow of a once-honoured but disgraced naval officer, who recounts the harrowing tale of her late husband’s decline and the faded glories of the Strangway family. Through tender remembrance and somber letters, the dusty past unveils itself, revealing the quiet desolation that attends a once-noble name now laid low by misfortune and the inexorable passage of time.
