| Summary | "Red Money" by Fergus Hume is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book presents a narrative steeped in social commentary and intricate human relationships, revolving around themes of love, jealousy, and the duality of identity. The key characters include Lord Garvington, Lady Agnes Pine, and the complex figure of Noel Lambert, whose interactions and tangled emotions set the scene for unfolding drama. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a breakfast gathering at The Manor, where light-hearted discussions about gypsies and fortune-telling segue into deeper tensions among the attendees. Lord Garvington expresses his distrust of the gypsies, hinting at a series of recent burglaries, while Miss Greeby, a strong-willed guest, speculates about relationships and accusations swirling around Lady Agnes and her former love, Noel Lambert. As revelations about social standings and personal desires come to light, the stage is set for a collision of old alliances and new intentions, foreshadowing the complex interplay of loyalty and betrayal that will undoubtedly develop throughout the story.
