"The Carcellini Emerald, With Other Tales" by Mrs. Burton Harrison is a collection of fiction stories written in the late 19th century. The tales delve into themes of society, class, and personal relationships, often centered around intrigue and the complexities of social standing. One of the pivotal stories follows Ashton Carmichael, a charming figure rising through New York's elite social circle, and the repercussions of his past relationships, particularly with Eunice Oliver, who now moves among the high society he aspires to dominate. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Ashton Carmichael, depicted as a charismatic yet enigmatic socialite whose rise is marked by a mysterious past and intertwined fates with those around him, particularly Tom Oliver, his once-dear friend. The narrative hints at a betrayal that has shattered their bond while also introducing Tom's sister Eunice, who harbors secret affections for Ashton. As tensions and misunderstandings build, particularly surrounding their romantic entanglements and the loss of respectability, the stage is set for explorations of love, betrayal, and social ambition, with the significant element of a precious emerald adding allure and potential menace to the unfolding drama.
