| Summary | "At His Gates: A Novel. Vol. 2 (of 3)" by Mrs. Oliphant is a fictional narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Helen Drummond, who is grappling with grief and anger following the wrongful tarnishing of her deceased husband's name. Themes of betrayal, social status, and family dynamics unfold as she confronts those responsible for her husband's downfall, particularly Mr. Golden, and navigates her new circumstances with her daughter, Norah. The opening of the novel introduces the emotional turmoil Helen faces as she returns home to a once familiar place now filled with painful memories. After a confrontation with Mr. Golden, who embodies the source of her family's distress, she expresses her rage against his presence and what he has done to her late husband, whose name he sullied. While Helen battles her feelings of helplessness, we see Norah grow and mature in the face of adversity. Their lives are intertwined with the attitudes of others in their community, including Mr. Burton, whose patronizing attitude exacerbates Helen's situation and underscores the class tensions and moral complexities present in their world. This first chapter establishes not only the emotional stakes for Helen and Norah but also hints at the social scrutiny they will face because of their changed status.
