About this book

Fraternity is by John Galsworthy. The contents list chapters up to Chapter XLI, and the first chapter is headed The Shadow. In the afternoon of the last day of April, a billowy sea of little broken clouds crowned the thin air above High Street, Kensington.

Mrs. Tallents Smallpeace talks about that little model and wonders whether they could do anything for her. Mrs. Tallents Smallpeace smiles, Stephen frowns at his boots, and Mr. Purcey stares admiringly at Thyme, who sits very upright, calmly regarding the unfortunate Egregio Pozzi. Tears roll down the seamstress's cheeks and she cannot answer, and her little son's thin voice rises instead: Baby's dead. We buried him in the ground.
