Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Broken Font: A Story of the Civil War, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by Moyle Sherer is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the English Civil War, focusing on various intertwining relationships and the impact of the war on individual lives, particularly those of Katharine Heywood, George Juxon, and Jane Lambert, as they navigate the tumultuous environment of loyalty and personal conflict. At the start of the story, we witness Katharine grappling with feelings of regret and responsibility toward her friend Jane, after revealing sensitive information regarding their societal troubles. The lively atmosphere shifts as young Arthur arrives, eager to prepare for battle, while serious conversations about loyalty, love, and the impending conflict develop among the characters. As tensions rise, Katharine seeks to reconcile her feelings for Juxon, who harbors feelings for Jane, while the narrative hints at the grim realities of war and its effect on human relationships. The opening sets the stage for deeper character explorations, moral dilemmas, and the intertwined fates of those caught in the chaos of the Civil War.
