Summary "WIlson's Tales of the Borders and of Scotland, Volume 23" by Wilson and Leighton is a collection of historical, traditional, and imaginative stories edited and revised in the late 19th century. This volume prominently features narratives that delve into the folklore and social nuances of the Scottish Borders, with tales revolving around various characters from humble backgrounds, revealing their virtues, flaws, and the intricate tapestry of life in that era. The opening portion introduces the story "The Lawyer's Tales - Lord Kames's Puzzle," beginning with the protagonist, Mrs. Hislop, a washerwoman in a modest Edinburgh domicile. The narrative unfolds as she learns about the death of a peculiar "strange man" who has cast a long shadow over her young foster daughter, Henrietta, over the years. The tale shifts to a revelation regarding Henrietta's lineage, speculating that she may be the daughter of a wealthy gentleman, John Napier, leading to Mrs. Hislop's determined quest to unravel this mystery. This initial segment sets the stage for themes of social class, identity, and the quest for truth, hinting at an engaging legal drama intertwined with personal stakes.
