Summary: "Five Tales" by John Galsworthy is a collection of short stories written during the early 20th century. The book explores complex human emotions and moral dilemmas through interconnected narratives that delve into themes of love, murder, and the intricate ties of family loyalty.

The tension escalates as Keith, bound by family loyalty yet appalled by Laurence's admission, grapples with the implications of his brother's actions.
