Johnston is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The narratives revolve around the character Cicely Leeds, a young seamstress facing the hardships of city life and loneliness. The stories appear to focus on themes of resilience, friendship, and the significance of compassion in difficult times. The opening of "Cicely and Other Stories" introduces us to Cicely, who is working in a busy dressmaking shop where she endures the physical strains of her labor and the emotional toll of isolation. As she works, her thoughts turn to her sister Marcelle and the promise of reuniting once their father's debts are paid off. Cicely's day takes a turn when a wealthy customer, Rhoda Balfour, enters the shop, sparking a connection that gives Cicely a glimmer of hope amidst her struggles. The narrative emphasizes Cicely's determination to persevere through her challenges, while establishing her journey toward finding friendship and support in an indifferent city.
