Summary "Foes" by Mary Johnston is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the tumultuous world surrounding Scotland in the early 18th century, focusing on the lives and relationships of the Jardine family, particularly the bond between Alexander Jardine and Ian Rullock. The narrative delves into the political tensions stemming from the Jacobite uprisings, set against a rich backdrop of the Scottish landscape. The opening of the novel introduces the character of English Strickland, a tutor at Glenfernie House, as he converses with Mother Binning, a local woman gifted with the second sight. Their discussion reflects the deeply rooted traditions and portents that linger in rural Scottish life. Amidst this setting, Strickland contemplates the enigmatic Alexander Jardine, who possesses a complexity that intrigues both Mother Binning and the tutor himself. The narrative then establishes Alexander's relationships with his family and friends, hinting at the conflicts and emotional depth that will shape the course of their lives as they approach a turning point in Scottish history. Overall, the opening sets the stage for a story of growth, friendship, and the struggle against a backdrop of cultural upheaval. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
