| Summary | "Hard Pressed" by Fred M. White is a novel written in the late 19th century. The storyline revolves around May Haredale, the daughter of a financially struggling baronet, who navigates romantic entanglements with the wealthy South African millionaire Raymond Copley while dealing with past relationships. The book explores themes of love, social status, and moral dilemmas, particularly through the challenges faced by May as Copley seeks her hand against the backdrop of her father's financial crisis. At the start of the novel, the scene is set during a glamorous evening at the National Opera House, where May attends alongside her father and Copley, who has taken a particular interest in her. As tensions surface regarding her father's financial difficulties and Copley's intentions, May finds herself reflecting on her past and the impact of the present situation on her family’s future. The narrative introduces Harry Fielden, a figure from May's past, further complicating her emotions and the choices before her. The opening chapters reveal the stakes of social ambition and personal affection, laying the groundwork for a dramatic exploration of the characters' interactions and motivations.
