Summary "Constance Dunlap" by Arthur B. Reeve is a novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative primarily revolves around Constance Dunlap, a woman caught in a tumultuous and morally ambiguous world of crime as she and her husband, Carlton, navigate the dark consequences of his embezzlement and their subsequent partnership in forgery. At the start of the story, Carlton Dunlap is seen returning home with a fearful demeanor, hinting at his troubled conscience. He confesses to Constance that he has engaged in embezzlement and intends to flee to escape the repercussions. Constance, initially distraught, quickly shifts from shock to resolve as she proposes ideas for forgery to help their situation. Together, they execute a plan to forge a check that could provide them the means to escape their financial troubles and start anew. This opening establishes a gripping and tense atmosphere, portraying the complexities of their relationship and the ethical dilemmas they face as they spiral deeper into crime.
