Name: Well, After All--
Author: Frank Frankfort Moore

The narrative follows a long-established banking family whose senior partner keeps strict self-control while his younger brother returns from overseas exploration and becomes romantically involved with a nearby woman. A sudden run on the bank and local reactions expose social attitudes, private desires, and the pressures of inheritance. Alternating scenes in the family seat and among the surrounding community trace the brothers' different temperaments and ambitions, examining duty, restraint, sacrifice, and how personal longing collides with obligations to family reputation and enterprise.
