"Far Above Rubies" by Mrs. J. H. Riddell is a novel written in the late 19th century. This third volume continues to explore themes of ambition, deception, and social dynamics, particularly through the experiences of the main character, Arthur Dudley, who navigates the challenges of his beleaguered financial endeavors and the enigmatic Mr. Black. As he grapples with feelings of being cheated and unworthy in the competitive world of business, the narrative delves into the complexities of human relationships and the pursuit of wealth. At the start of the novel, Arthur Dudley reflects on his financial misadventures, feeling exploited by Mr. Black, the promoter of the "Protector Flour and Bread Company." He is plagued by memories of his past miscalculations regarding investments, which he believes have led to personal ruin. The opening section establishes his internal conflict as he confronts the harsh realities of London life and his role as a secretary, contrasting sharply with the idyllic freedom he once enjoyed at Berrie Down. The scene sets the stage for an exploration of ambition, regret, and the often cruel nature of societal expectations in an era where wealth can dictate one's worth.
