The Eustace Diamonds Chapter III - Lucy Morris

In which we are introduced to the delicate social position and virtuous character of Lucy Morris, a governess cherished by Lady Fawn’s family yet constrained by the rigid expectations of her class, while her quiet affection for the barrister Frank Greystock remains overshadowed by the practicalities of their differing fortunes. Meanwhile, Lady Eustace’s bold friendship and lively presence contrast with the genteel household where subtle tensions and unspoken rules govern the interactions of all concerned.
