Summary "The Nether Millstone" by Fred M. White is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mary Dashwood, a strong-willed woman entangled in a web of familial pride, love, and financial ruin. As her family's legacy is threatened by the unscrupulous Horace Mayfield, she navigates her feelings for Ralph Darnley, a man with a mysterious past and a profound affection for her, all while facing social and personal dilemmas that force her to reconsider her values and the implications of family honor. The opening of the book introduces us to Mary Dashwood, who is in a dangerous situation riding a black horse. As she is rescued by Ralph Darnley, their connection is rekindled, revealing a complicated history between them. The narrative sets up the tension between Mary's inherited pride and the threat posed by Mayfield, who seeks to exploit her family's situation for his own gain. Through this initial encounter and their ensuing dialogue, we see the characters' motivations, the looming financial crisis, and hints of deeper emotional ties, setting the stage for a dramatic exploration of love amidst societal expectations and personal sacrifice.
