Description
Volume six of Kenelm Chillingly opens Book Six with Sir Peter leaving for London. News that Kenelm has left town without a word appalls him. The journey's real purpose is a resettlement: twenty thousand pounds for Chillingly Gordon, his cousin's son. That business done, Sir Peter breakfasts with his cousin Mivers.
Mivers, a bachelor, delivers a set speech at the omelette against marriage. Bachelorhood, he insists, is the only safe protection of a man's positive happiness. His statistics on marriage's dangers amuse and irritate the widowed baronet in equal parts. This volume turns the novel's marriage debate onto the older generation. Sir Peter must weigh family duty against Kenelm's stubborn freedom.
