520 _a"Cobwebs and Cables" by Hesba Stretton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Roland Sefton, a successful banker who is facing a moral and existential crisis after absconding due to a financial scandal that threatens his family and business. The novel delves into themes of guilt, familial ties, and the repercussions of one's actions as Roland grapples with the consequences of his choices. The opening of the narrative introduces Roland in the quiet darkness of his office late at night, reflecting on his prosperous but troubled life. As he contemplates his looming decision to escape the consequences of his actions, he is haunted by memories of his beloved hometown and the family members he will be leaving behind—especially his wife Felicita and their two children. As the story unfolds, we meet Phebe Marlowe, who serves as a connection to Roland's past and highlights the disparities in their lives. The tension builds as Roland’s internal conflict becomes evident, setting the stage for a tale that will explore not only his personal downfall but also the collective impact on those he loves.
