St. George and St. Michael, Volume 2

The volume interweaves episodes around a keep and its household, blending domestic detail, courtly tensions, and intermittent fighting over castles and loyalties. Recurring threads follow Dorothy's duties and attachments, a young child's devotional innocence linked to a white-horse fountain, and the evolving relations of several principal figures. A succession of uncanny incidents — a mysterious fire-engine, an enchanted chair, apparitions, witchcraft, a horoscope, and an exorcism — introduces supernatural suggestion amid moral and religious reflection. The narrative unfolds episodically, alternating intimate scenes of caregiving and prayer with legal disputes, perilous confrontations, discoveries, and eventual deliverances.
