"The Wizard's Son, Vol. 2 (of 3)" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story continues to follow Lord Walter Methven, also known as Lord Erradeen, as he navigates personal turmoil and the complexities of his heritage in Scotland. The opening chapters introduce themes of escape, emotional conflict, and the contrast between the serenity of rural life and the pressures of social expectations. At the start of the novel, Walter finds himself in a small boat with Oona Forrester, experiencing a complicated mix of relief and anxiety as they are temporarily removed from the chaos of their lives on land. Oona expresses a sentiment of safety while Walter grapples with the emotional toll of expectations thrown upon him by his title and responsibilities. Their conversation reveals an underlying emotional bond, filled with moments of attraction tempered by the weight of their respective struggles. As they return to Oona's home on the isle, Walter's personal conflicts begin to surface amidst discussions of duty and morality, particularly regarding the treatment of the lower class on his estate. This opening establishes a poignant exploration of personal connection against the backdrop of societal expectations and the burdens of heritage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
