The Slave of Silence by Fred M. White
"The Slave of Silence" by Fred M. White is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Beatrice Darryll, a young woman facing the impending marriage to a man she loathes for the sake of her family’s reputation, as her father, Sir Charles Darryll, is involved in a scandal. Beatrice grapples with her deep discontent, mourning her lost honor while caught in a web of familial duty and
financial desperation. At the start of the novel, Beatrice experiences a mix of emotions while preparing for her wedding dinner at the lavish Royal Palace Hotel. Her inner turmoil is evident as she wears black mourning attire, signifying her sorrow for selling herself into a marriage devoid of love. The narrative introduces her father, Sir Charles, who seems indifferent to the pressures surrounding him, as he manipulates circumstances to secure financial stability through Beatrice's marriage to the wealthy Stephen Richford. As the tension builds, Beatrice longs for true love and freedom, hinting at her unresolved feelings for Mark Ventmore, whom she believes she could have married under different circumstances. The opening sets the stage for a drama filled with emotional conflict and social intrigue, suggesting that Beatrice's struggles will lead to significant consequences for her and those around her.
