N2  - "At His Gates: A Novel. Vol. 3 (of 3)" by Mrs. Oliphant is a fictional work likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the lives of the Burton family, particularly focusing on their son Ned and the lingering tensions related to their social and business connections, notably with the enigmatic Mr. Golden. Central themes include social status, familial loyalty, and the impact of past events on present relationships, set against the backdrop of a vibrant society full of interactions and dynamics among its characters.  At the start of the novel, the drawing-room is alive with various activities while outside, darkness prevails. Introduced are key characters such as Ned, Clara, and Mr. Golden, whose presence stirs discord within the family, especially as conversations turn towards the Drummond family and insinuations about Mr. Golden’s role in their past tragedy. Tensions flare as Ned grapples with feelings of protectiveness and rising anger towards Mr. Golden concerning a tragedy linked to his family. The opening portion sets the stage for conflicts involving loyalty, potential disgrace, and the complexities of romantic entanglements, particularly as Ned’s relationship with Norah Drummond is foreshadowed amidst familial expectations and the specter of past sins.
