| Summary | "The Duke's Daughter; and The Fugitives; vol. 2/3" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Lady Jane Angela Pendragon Plantagenet Fitz-Merlin Altamont, the daughter of a duke, who finds herself entangled in a complex situation that involves marriage and societal expectations, amidst a backdrop of upper-class intrigues and personal dilemmas. The opening portion of the novel introduces the reader to the aftermath of a marriage ceremony that almost took place, creating a ripple of tension and concern surrounding Lady Jane. As her father, the Duke, has forbidden the union with Reginald Winton, Lady Jane is effectively imprisoned in her father's home, grappling with feelings of heartbreak and betrayal. The narrative also highlights the efforts of the Rector and his wife, who are deeply troubled by the events and contemplate interventions to prevent a marriage that they believe to be a rash decision. This portion sets the stage for a tale of conflicting loyalties and family dynamics, emphasizing the weight of societal expectations on personal happiness.
