Project Gutenberg 2008-12-08 Public domain in the USA. 79 Scott, John Reed 1869 1942 Underwood, Clarence F. 1871 1929 In Her Own Right E-text prepared by Roger Frank, Darleen Dove, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net) "In Her Own Right" by John Reed Scott is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Geoffrey Croyden, a young man who finds himself facing the fallout of financial ruin after a major brokerage firm collapses, leaving him nearly penniless. Croyden resolves to leave his previous life behind and seeks refuge in his inherited property, Clarendon, where he hopes to evade the complexities of high society that once engulfed him. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the context of Croyden's financial woes and his decision to retreat to Clarendon after the bankruptcy of Royster & Axtell. Through conversations with his friends, Macloud and Croyden, we learn about the superficiality and competitiveness of their social circle, which leaves Croyden feeling disillusioned. As he heads to his new residence, the narrative begins to hint at future developments, including his encounters with the local community and intriguing new characters, especially a beautiful young woman named Elaine Cavendish, suggesting that his journey may lead to both personal growth and complicated relationships in this new setting.
