Produced by Curtis Weyant, Graeme Mackreth and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Bred in the Bone; Or, Like Father, Like Son: A Novel" by James Payn is a fictional work written during the late 19th century. The story focuses on the eccentric character Carew of Crompton, a fun-loving but reckless squire whose larger-than-life exploits and wild lifestyle have made him infamous in his community. Amidst the backdrop of his lavish estate, the novel explores themes of reputation, social class, and the complexities of familial ties. The opening portion of the novel introduces Carew as a legendary figure known for his bravado and reckless antics, from clearing obstacles while riding his horse to his extravagant lifestyle that teeters on the edge of ruin. We learn about Richard Yorke, a young landscape painter who has moved near Crompton, harboring a desire to make his mark and possibly claim his place in Carew's life, feeling a blend of admiration and frustration towards him. The narrative sets the stage for a duel of wits and wills between Yorke and Carew, as Yorke's background and motivations hint at deeper connections to Carew than are immediately apparent. This initial glimpse encapsulates their dynamic with rich detail, promising an engaging exploration of their relationships and the repercussions of Carew's actions on those around him.
