The Woodlanders Chapter 42

In which Grace is consumed by anxious vigil as she tends to the absent Giles, wandering the silent woods and ultimately discovering him in a fevered and perilous state; compelled by loyalty and compassion, she summons the reluctant but skilled Dr. Fitzpiers to aid the man she fears may be dying. Through the dim, rain-soaked landscape and amidst complex domestic entanglements, a quiet drama of devotion and duty unfolds under the waning autumnal light.
