Jack’s uncle had remarried recently, a lady from the South—that region of the country that breeds ladies who are the most mercenary creatures on earth. Especially the widowed variety, with offspring from the previous marriage. And this particular widow had three sons, each more dissolute than the last, and her plan was to siphon off the Beaumont inheritance into their rapacious hands. Jack, like his father before him, had never gotten along with his uncle. It had been a great nuisance that by the terms of the will of Jack’s grandfather, the firm’s assets had gone entirely to Jack’s uncle. Now it appeared to Jack that he was to be cut out entirely. Soon after the wordless departure of Mr. Garden, Jack lay down on his bed and thought about all this, but soon fell asleep and dreamed of Susan in Hosmer Collamore’s arms. It was a nightmare. He awoke in a sweat and was immediately overcome by an obsession: to find out where Susan and Hosmer had gone.
