The Channings
by Mrs. Henry WOOD (1814 - 1887)Chapter XXVI - Checkmated.
This is a saga about life in a small town in England during the Victorian era. The "stars" of this saga are the Channings. Mr. Channing was ill and, because of his poverty, his six children have to work. Many things happen during this saga: a man confesses to a theft which he thinks his brother did, a lady is engaged to a gentleman much above her station, and so much more. But in the middle of all this you can find plenty of family love. (Summary by Stav Nisser)
