The daughter of the former Major Charles Claire Winton, Gyp who is 23 years old, weds Fiorsen, a Swedish violin artist. Her mother, the wife of the other man, has been Winton's paramour; she deceased when Gyp was born. In her childhood, Gyp was a very delicate one, she was raised in a desolate place with a humble, but much British, father. When she becomes mature, her father makes her known into the community. A hit of gout sends him to Wiesbaden for a treatment and, as he never leaves someplace without her, she goes with him. There she is awe struck by Fiorsen and his music. As she likes music too and amateurish, she is sweet talked by the deference of the musician though her father momentarily gets to know him inside out. She also knows he is gifted but volatile, ill-informed, futile, easily offended, with a magic of affection, a classic artist. Gyp takes in that she might well have made a misstep in getting hitched with Fiorsen. John Galsworthy OM was a British author and dramatist. His remarkable writings are The Forsyte Saga and its series, A Modern Comedy and End of the Chapter. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932. John was born at Parkhurst which is now called as Galsworthy House on Kingston Hill in Surrey, England. His parents were John and Blanche Bartleet Bailey Galsworthy. His family was well-to-do and well reputable, with a huge property in Kingston on Thames that is nowadays the location of three schools: Marymount International School, Rokeby Preparatory School, and Holy Cross Preparatory School. He is today mostly recognized for his books, especially The Forsyte Saga, his trio of the nominative family and related lives. These novels, as with several of his other writings, have something to do with social class, and upper-middle class lives.

Beyond Part I I At the door of St. George's registry office, Charles Clare Winton strolled forward in the wake of the taxi-cab that was bearing his daughter away with “the fiddler fellow” she had married. His sense of decorum forbade his walking with Nurse Betty—the only other witness of the wedding. A stout woman in a highly emotional condition would have been an incongruous companion to his slim, upright figure, moving with just that unexaggerated swing and balance becoming to a lancer of the old school, even if he has been on the retired list for sixteen years. Poor Betty! He thought of her with irritated sympathy—she need not have given way to tears on the door-step. She might well feel lost now Gyp was gone, but not so lost as himself! His pale-gloved hand—the one real hand he had, for his right hand had been amputated at the wrist—twisted vexedly at the small, grizzling moustache lifting itself from the corners of his firm lips. On this grey February day he wore no overcoat; faithful to the absolute, almost shamefaced quietness of that wedding, he had not even donned black coat and silk hat, but wore a blue suit and a hard black felt. The instinct of a soldier and hunting man to exhibit no sign whatever of emotion did not desert him this dark day of his life; but his grey-hazel eyes kept contracting, staring fiercely, contracting again; and, at moments, as if overpowered by some deep feeling, they darkened and seemed to draw back in his head. His face was narrow and weathered and thin-cheeked, with a clean-cut jaw, small ears, hair darker than the moustache, but touched at the side wings with grey—the face of a man of action, self-reliant, resourceful. And his bearing was that of one who has always been a bit of a dandy, and paid attention to “form,” yet been conscious sometimes that there were things beyond. A man, who, preserving all the precision
