| Summary |
"The Pennycomequicks, Volume 2" by S. Baring-Gould is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Cusworth family, particularly focusing on the character Salome, as they navigate through familial changes and unexpected challenges after the death of a relative, Jeremiah Pennycomequick. The novel explores themes of love, duty, and the complexities of human relationships within a socio-economic context. At the start of this volume, Salome Cusworth is dealing with her mother's health and the financial implications of their current living situation, especially after the unexpected outcomes related to Jeremiah’s will. The narrative captures Salome's concern for her mother's welfare, alongside tension involving their lodgings and the mysterious appearance of a stranger in their garden. As Philip Pennycomequick, Jeremiah's nephew, becomes more entwined with the Cusworths, discussions and conflicts arise about loyalty, inheritance, and the burdens that come with new responsibilities following Jeremiah's death. The interactions hint at underlying romantic tensions between Salome and Philip as both characters grapple with their feelings amid external pressures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
