Summary "The Coast of Chance" by Esther Chamberlain and Lucia Chamberlain is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Flora Gilsey, who becomes embroiled in a social mystery following the disappearance of a priceless heirloom—the Chatworth ring—during an auction preview. As she navigates her relationships and the unfolding intrigue, the atmosphere of romance and suspense thickens. The opening of the novel introduces Flora Gilsey in her home, distracted by her reflection and the lavish setting around her. She is keenly aware of the superficiality of her surroundings, reflecting on the vanished Chatworth ring, which has captivated the social elite due to its tragic history. As dinner progresses with her companion Mrs. Britton, Flora shares the shocking news of the ring's disappearance at the auction preview. The chapter establishes the central mystery, her vibrant personality, and hints at her complex interactions with other characters, including Harry, her charming but somewhat mundane suitor, and the intriguing stranger, Kerr, who seems to elicit more passionate excitement from Flora. The subtle interplay of character dynamics sets the stage for an exploration of themes such as social status, desire, and the allure of the unknown. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
