Description
Volume eight of Kenelm Chillingly opens Book Eight at the breakfast table of Sir Peter. Cecilia Travers and Chillingly Gordon sit opposite their host. Sir Peter recoils in horror at a letter from Kenelm, set before him by the servant. Cecilia cannot conceive what bad news the letter holds.
Sir Peter wonders whether Kenelm has disgraced the family name or worse. He reads aloud, and the talk turns to a farmer named Nostock. Sir Peter defends old Nostock, known for six generations, against Kenelm's sharp words. Gordon changes the subject to a Times article on cabinet changes. Then Sir Peter withdraws to his library to study the letter closely. This final volume opens the novel's closing reckonings.
