Miser Farebrother: A Novel (vol. 2 of 3) by B. L. Farjeon

"Miser Farebrother: A Novel (vol. 2 of 3)" by B. L. Farjeon is a fiction work written in the late 19th century. The narrative interweaves various characters' lives, particularly focusing on Phoebe Farebrother and her interactions with others like Jeremiah Pamflett and Fred Cornwall. The story likely revolves around themes of love, ambition, and the tensions inherent in social and familial relationships during its time. At the start of the novel's opening portion, readers are introduced to a vibrant tea gathering orchestrated by Phoebe, whose birthday is being celebrated. As light-hearted banter ensues between guests, we see glimpses of Jeremiah Pamflett's aspirations and motives, particularly regarding his position in the household of Miser Farebrother. The narrative shifts to reveal Jeremiah's character—his aspirations to woo Phoebe and his ambitions that put him in a cunning position over Miser Farebrother. The initial chapters reveal complexities in relationships, emerging tensions, and the dynamics within the Farebrother household, setting the stage for further developments in both romantic entanglements and personal ambitions.
