| Summary | "The Channings: A Story" by Mrs. Henry Wood is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Channing family, particularly focusing on the challenges and dynamics that arise after a legal dispute negatively impacts their lives. The opening portion introduces various characters, including Charley Channing, the spirited young boy with a strong sense of honor, and the broader family dynamics as they face their trials together. The beginning of the book sets the scene in Helstonleigh, where the ringing bells of the cathedral signal significant events including the Assizes, a legal proceeding that will intertwine with the Channing family's fortunes. We also witness the disruption caused by an incident involving Charley and an ink-stained surplice belonging to a fellow chorister, Bywater, which becomes a point of contention in the school. The familial bond and individual character traits emerge as the Channings grapple with the disheartening outcome of their long-standing legal battle, which brings about a complex range of emotions and future uncertainties, particularly regarding their financial stability.
