Soames Forsyte salió del hotel Knightsbridge, donde estaba parando, la tarde del 12 de mayo de 1920, con la intención de visitar una colección de cuadros que se exponía en una sala de la calle Cook. Desde la guerra, nunca tomaba un coche de alquiler si podía evitarlo. Los conductores eran, a su juicio, una pandilla de sujetos inciviles, que sólo se recivilizaban ahora que las restricciones desaparecían y la oferta volvía ya a exceder a la demanda, cosa que sucede forzosamente a los humanos. Sin embargo, no los había perdonado, identificándolos, como a todos los miembros de su clase, con la revolución. La ansiedad considerable que había pasado durante la guerra, y la mayor aún que estaba pasando desde el establecimiento de la paz, habían producido consecuencias psicológicas en una naturaleza que era tenaz. Había experimentado mentalmente tantas veces la ruina, que había dejado de creer en su probabilidad material. Pagando cuatro mil de impuestos al año, no se podía estar ya peor. Una fortuna de un cuarto de millón, sin más que mujer y una hija que sostener y en formas muy diversas invertidas, proporcionaba una considerable garantía contra aquella tontería que algunos propugnaban de la incautación de capitales. En cuanto a la confiscación de los beneficios de guerra, estaba por completo en pro de ella, pues él no había hecho ninguno. El precio de los cuadros, de haber cambiado, había sido para subir, y él había comprado muchos durante la guerra. Los ataques aéreos también habían ejercido influencia sobre un espíritu por naturaleza cauto y habían endurecido su carácter. El peligro de ser destrozado y dispersado inclina a las personas a tener menos miedo a los pequeños destrozos y dispersiones de los impuestos y tasas, mientras que la costumbre de maldecir a los alemanes le había llevado a la costumbre de maldecir a los laboristas, si no abiertamente, al menos en el fondo de su alma.

A young boy's mind begins to awaken to love and beauty; an old man cherishes a final season of companionship as the end of his life draws near. These two stories by John Galsworthy, set nearly two decades apart, probe the emotions connected to family, passion, and art as they are deeply felt by both grandson and grandfather, who never meet each other but are tied together through their family history. The works form the interludes of the author's celebrated Forsyte Saga, but readers will discover each also stands alone as a captivating work of fiction.

The residents of Villa Rubein lead a quiet and generally conventional existence until one spring day when Greta, twelve years old, outspoken, and inquisitive, follows her mischievous dog Scruff into a previously abandoned house and meets the painter Alois Harz. Harz is drawn into a friendship with the entire family, growing closer to all of them but especially nineteen-year-old Christian, who soon finds herself torn between her intense love for the painter and her love for her family.

Soames Forsyte's exquisite goods collection is most cherished by his wife, the mysterious Irene. However, her passion for Bosinney, a destitute architect who entirely opposes the Forsyte principles, sets off a chain of events that can only result in embarrassment and catastrophe. Gordon's opinions were greatly influenced by Robertson, who thought that missionaries were the only people who could change the settlers' lackadaisical attitudes toward sporadic church services and tepid spirituality. He rose to prominence as a supporter of the unification of the churches and social change in the West. As a result, the United Church of Canada was established in the 1920s as a reaction to the rising liberalism and secularization. Galsworthy engages the reader in a game. He is content to give us access to the thoughts of many characters, but not Irene. Therefore, we will have to make an educated assumption as to why she specifically started to despise her spouse. Soames claims to have no explanation. In a work that generally is content to toss enormous baleful of information out the back of the brougham, it is an infuriating but very purposeful withholding of information.
