The Freelands Chapter 6

In which the genteel Mrs. Stanley Freeland recalls a singular visit to her sister-in-law's rustic cottage, a place marked by untamed nature and unconventional ways that sharply contrast with the refined world of Becket. Meanwhile, an earnest dialogue unfolds between Felix and Stanley over the Mallorings' paternalistic hold on their estate and the uneven burdens borne by landowners and labourers alike, revealing quiet tensions beneath the surface of country life.
