| Summary | "A Rich Man's Relatives (Vol. 2 of 3)" by Robert Cleland is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows various characters entwined in the lives and fortunes of wealthy families, focusing particularly on their social interactions and the complexities of relationships tied to affluence. As the continuation of a larger work, it delves into themes of wealth, morality, and familial ties, hinting at the struggles of individuals against the backdrop of societal expectations. At the start of this volume, the atmosphere shifts from a serene summer evening to the busier and more complex settings of Montreal winters. We meet key characters like Considine and Jordan, who discuss the future and prospects of Ralph Herkimer's child, Gerald, highlighting their responsibilities in managing the Herkimer estate. Simultaneously, we are introduced to characters like Betsey and Muriel, whose vibrant personalities contrast with the serious financial negotiations occurring in the back. The narrative intertwines their lives, setting the stage for potential conflicts that arise from wealth, responsibility, and personal desires as rich family legacies begin to strain.
