Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Diana Tempest, Volume II" by Mary Cholmondeley is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of Diana Tempest and her friends, touching on themes of love, societal expectations, and the struggles faced by women within the constraints of their time. The characters navigate their interpersonal relationships amidst the backdrop of British high society, exploring the contrast between wealth and poverty. At the start of the novel, the setting is established in the sweltering heat of July, where Diana, affectionately referred to as Di, laments their financial limitations while dreaming of wealth and the luxuries it could bring, such as seaside holidays and indulgent meals. Di's close relationship with her grandmother, Mrs. Courtenay, highlights their shared struggles, yet also their resilience and wit. The opening chapters introduce a potential romance between Di and John Tempest, illuminating Di's complex feelings towards love and marriage, contrasting with her observations of mundane societal expectations around her. Di's introspection about her desires and the nature of true love sets the stage for her journey throughout the novel.
