Summary "Foxglove Manor: A Novel, Volume 3 (of 3)" by Robert W. Buchanan is a dramatic fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the troubled marriage of George and Ellen Haldane, exploring themes of jealousy, betrayal, and morality amidst the complexities of human relationships. The story unfolds in the context of societal expectations and personal convictions, particularly through the problematic character of Charles Santley, a clergyman entangled in scandalous whispers and misdeeds. The opening of the novel introduces us to the strained relationship between George and Ellen. As George notes Ellen's absent-mindedness during breakfast and her visit to church, he suspects her jealousy regarding the clergyman, Mr. Santley, whom she seems to idealize despite allegations of impropriety with another woman. This emotional turmoil escalates as George confronts Ellen about her feelings and Mr. Santley's intentions, culminating in a tension-filled dialogue that hints at deeper issues in their marriage. As George observes Ellen’s internal struggle, he grapples with his own jealousy and contempt for Santley, setting the stage for a conflict that intertwines their fates and tests the boundaries of love and fidelity.
