The Princess Casamassima
Authorship not stated
You play Hyacinth, summoned from your guardian's parlor to Newgate, where a dying woman says she is the mother you believed lost long ago. In eight minutes behind a screen, Florentine Vivier admits she killed the aristocrat who fathered and denied you, and insists that Amanda Pynsent, who raised you on nothing, deserves gratitude rather than blame for keeping the truth from you. The chapter ends at the gate, Amanda promising to finish what Florentine started, the hardest part of it still unsaid.
