The Ivory Gate by Mortimer Collins. The narrative follows Paul Veryan, a young secretary who resigns to pursue his Quixotic ideals and marries Aurora Elmore. Their togetherness unfolds within a London-to-country world of politics, romance, and intrigue in 1860s England, where Latimer the Earl and Hogmire the shrewd attorney shape events from behind the scenes. The couple’s journey leads from the metropolis to the Surrey countryside and the Ottermoor recluse, weaving a mystery surrounding a vanished singer and a forged letter that threatens their bond. A will left by Raoul Monchenci unexpectedly bequeaths a substantial fortune to Veryan—around £350,000—transforming fortunes and testing conscience. After trials of love, money, and reputation, Paul and Aurora establish a settled life in Hertfordshire with a son, while Latimer’s patronage and the memory of The Ivory Gate guide their hopes for a future beyond the present. The work blends romance, satire, and philosophical reflection into a rich, contemplative tale.
