| Summary | "The Forfeit" by Ridgwell Cullum is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around ranchers Jeffrey Masters and Bud Tristram, who are contemplating a significant business deal that could elevate their ranching operations in Montana. Their partnership is tested by external conflicts and personal dynamics, especially involving a mysterious past and deeper emotional connections between the characters, including the arrival of Bud's daughter, Nan. The opening of "The Forfeit" introduces readers to Jeffrey Masters, who is engrossed in planning a major investment in land and livestock, while his companion Bud Tristram appears more relaxed and trusting. Their conversation reveals not only their business ambitions but also hints at a deeper bond of friendship. The mood shifts with the entrance of Nan, whose presence initiates reflections on family and responsibility. Shortly thereafter, Jeffrey receives a letter from his estranged twin brother, Ronald, prompting concerns about their connection. As the plot unfolds, themes of love, duty, and the harsh realities of ranch life emerge, setting the stage for both personal and larger conflicts to follow.
