Excerpt from The Benefit of the Doubt: A Comedy in Three Acts The Scene represents a drawing-room in Mrs. Emptage's house near Regent's Park. At the back are double doors, opening on to a further drawing-room, and these face a window, over which the blinds are drawn, to moderate the glare of the sun, which nevertheless streams through them, for it is a fine afternoon in early summer. The rooms are furnished and decorated in a costly and tasteful fashion. Mrs. Emptage is reclining upon the settee, her eyes closed, a bottle of smelling-salts in her hand. Justina is pacing the room between the door and the window. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book captures a legal drama that takes the reader inside a divorce trial and its emotional and social impact on a British family in the Victorian era. The story is told through the eyes of family and friends who provide contrasting reactions as the trial unfolds, mirroring the polarized public opinion surrounding such cases in the period. The novel explores the contrast between the Victorian obsession with propriety and high morals, and the simultaneous prurient fascination with scandalous trials, while examining gender roles and double standards. This exploration of human nature, the interplay of truth and deception, and the fragility of reputation will resonate with readers long after they have finished the book.
