How does Interim develop the theme of Friendship and Loyalty?

Interim by Dorothy M. Richardson develops Friendship and Loyalty across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

Relationships with friends like Eve and the Baileys are marked by affection, obligation, and betrayal, as Miriam navigates the fine line between being a confidante and being used, and between loyalty to others and loyalty to herself.

Miriam's excitement and connection with Eve, and the supportive response from Mr. Hancock.
