(Frances Mary) The Swing of the Pendulum Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The Swing of the Pendulum" by Frances Mary Peard is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins on a crowded ship making its way to Norway, highlighting the discomfort of the passengers as they anticipate their arrival. The focus shifts to a mother and daughter, Mrs. Ravenhill and Millie, who are determined to explore their destination despite their unpleasant journey. The narrative hints at a developing relationship between Millie and a fellow traveler, Dick Wareham, while also introducing the mysterious Anne Dalrymple, adding complexity to their interactions. The opening of the novel establishes a backdrop of travel and discomfort, with characters who are slowly revealing their personalities and relationships. As the ship approaches the harbor of Stavanger, Millie expresses her eagerness to explore Norway, contrasting with her mother’s more artistic disposition. The passengers aboard share a mix of camaraderie and tension, particularly as tensions arise from unspoken connections and histories—such as Wareham’s dislike for Miss Dalrymple, who is indirectly tied to his friend Hugh's romantic troubles. Their interactions promise an intricate web of emotions and social dynamics that will unfold as the characters navigate their new surroundings in Norway.
