Summary "Proper Pride: A Novel, Volume 3" by B. M. Croker is a continuation of a fictional narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The work seems to focus on the intricate relationships and social dynamics among the characters, particularly revolving around the protagonist, Sir Reginald Fairfax, and his wife, Alice. With themes of love, pride, and societal expectations, the novel invites readers into the lives of characters navigating personal dilemmas and public appearances. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Sir Reginald as he interacts with family and friends over breakfast. A discourse about racing sets the stage for tension around Sir Reginald’s responsibilities and the looming danger of riding a difficult horse, Tornado, in an upcoming race. The narrative quickly delves into the complexities of his marriage with Alice, highlighting both underlying affection and discord as Alice expresses concern for her husband's safety. There are also hints of societal scrutiny surrounding them, particularly concerning their family's dynamics and Alice's standing. As the story unfolds, the emotional stakes rise, especially with Alice's distress over their crumbling intimacy and emerging health concerns, creating a sense of urgency that drives the narrative forward.
