Summary: "Under Lock and Key: A Story. Volume 1 (of 3)" by T. W. Speight is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the journey of a young girl named Janet Holme, who leaves her boarding school, Park Hill Seminary, after the death of its mistress, Miss Chinfeather, and is sent to live with Lady Pollexfen at Dupley Walls. The story is centered around themes of mystery, identity, and the search for belonging, set against the backdrop of a mysterious and possibly sinister household. At the start of the story, Janet is filled with curiosity and fear as she embarks on a journey to her new home. She experiences confusion regarding her family background, having little to no recollection of her parents, and a conflicting blend of emotions about leaving the only life she has known. Upon arriving at Dupley Walls, she is met with a mix of indifference and concern from the household staff, particularly Mrs. Dance and Lady Pollexfen, who have their own secrets. The opening chapters introduce a sense of mystery surrounding Janet's past and her connection to Lady Pollexfen, hinted at through dialogue and subtle reactions, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their relationship as the narrative unfolds.
