Produced by Distributed Proofreaders "A Fountain Sealed" by Anne Douglas Sedgwick is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a wintery Boston, centering on three characters—Mary Colton, Rose Packer, and Jack Pennington—who share differing social backgrounds yet maintain a close friendship. The narrative delves into their discussions about a mutual friend, Imogen Upton, who is grappling with the recent death of her father and the complexities of relationships, especially with her mother, Mrs. Upton. The opening of the novel introduces us to an intimate gathering in a sparsely decorated drawing-room, where the protagonists engage in conversations that reveal their contrasting perspectives on duty, grief, and social expectations. Mary, who admires Imogen’s steadfastness and goodness, contrasts sharply with the more jaded and cynical views of Rose. As these friends reflect on the legacy of Imogen’s father and the challenges of familial obligations, the reader is drawn into the emotional intricacies of their lives. By the end of this introductory segment, the groundwork is laid for exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and societal pressures, setting a poignant tone for the unfolding narrative.
