Project Gutenberg 2011-08-21 Public domain in the USA. 282 Rives, Hallie Erminie 1876 1956 Wheeler, Post, Mrs. Rogers, Frances The Long Lane's Turning Produced by Al Haines "The Long Lane's Turning" by Hallie Erminie Rives is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores themes of justice, personal ambition, and the consequences of one's choices through the lens of a courtroom drama. The story centers around Harry Sevier, a charismatic lawyer facing a moral dilemma as he defends a down-and-out accused man known as “Paddy the Brick.” As the narrative unfolds, it dives into Harry's struggles with his own demons, particularly his reliance on alcohol, and the impact this has on his profession and personal life. At the start of the novel, the courtroom is filled with anticipation as Harry Sevier prepares to defend his client, who has been charged with theft. The atmosphere is tense, marked by the contrast between Harry's refined background and the rough, bleak circumstances of his client. Despite Harry’s reputation for winning cases, there's a palpable sense of foreboding as he grapples with his addiction and a growing fear of failing his client. The opening chapters provide a vivid picture of Harry's inner turmoil and the impression he leaves on those around him, particularly on Echo Allen, a woman who harbors feelings for him. As events unfold, the reader is drawn into a gripping conflict of personal integrity against societal expectations. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 80.9 (6th grade).
