| Summary | "The Grey Monk" by T. W. Speight is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Alec Clare, the heir to Withington Chase, who finds himself at odds with his proud father, Sir Gilbert Clare, due to his reckless spending and gambling habits. The narrative begins with a stormy night, during which Alec returns home to plead for his father's help to avoid disgrace. The opening portion introduces the strained relationship between Alec and Sir Gilbert, highlighting Sir Gilbert's pride and disappointment in his son, who has squandered his potential. Alec's attempt to reconcile with his father culminates in a revealing confrontation where he admits to his debts, ultimately leading to an agreement that will send him away from home indefinitely. This sets the stage for Alec's subsequent journey, blending elements of family drama, social class struggles, and personal redemption, as he tries to untangle the consequences of his actions while also battling his own sense of identity and belonging.
