| Summary | "Portia; Or, By Passions Rocked" by Duchess is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Portia Vibart, a young woman returning to her family's estate, where she is welcomed by her lively cousin Dulcinea and the other members of the household, including the enigmatic Fabian Blount. The opening chapters introduce a blend of familial relationships, emerging tensions, and romantic possibilities as Portia navigates her new environment. The beginning of the novel sets the stage for Portia’s arrival at her uncle Christopher’s country home, where she meets her vibrant cousin Dulcinea and other colorful characters, including Roger and Dicky Browne. Portia is initially portrayed as weary and in need of rest from her life in town, but she is quickly drawn into the lively dynamics of the household. Throughout the opening chapters, conversations reveal hints of deeper family secrets, particularly concerning Fabian, as well as the lively interactions and banter between the characters, establishing a rich tapestry of personalities and relationships that promise to unfold as the story progresses.
