Summary "Foxglove Manor: A Novel, Volume 2 (of 3)" by Robert W. Buchanan is a fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story encompasses the themes of personal conflict, loyalty, and complex relationships amongst the characters residing in or connected to Foxglove Manor. The narrative primarily focuses on George Haldane, his enigmatic servant Baptisto, and the tensions that arise involving Baptisto’s past, as well as the growing intimacy between Haldane's wife, Ellen, and the clergyman Mr. Santley. The opening of this volume sets the stage with George Haldane preparing for a journey to London while expressing disbelief at his servant Baptisto's insistence on staying behind due to poor health. Baptisto’s mysterious demeanor raises questions about his character and situation. Amid the mundane, Ellen Haldane becomes increasingly anxious about Baptisto's presence, particularly as discussions hint at his dark past involving a murder. Meanwhile, upon the departure of her husband, Ellen receives an unexpected visit from Mr. Santley, whose interactions with her reveal underlying tensions and emotional struggles. This structured blend of suspense, social intrigue, and deep character exploration invites readers to delve into a world of moral dilemmas and entangled relationships.
