Wilson, Theodore P.
Wilson, T. P.
Working in the Shade
Lowly Sowing brings Glorious Reaping
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Working in the Shade; or, Lowly Sowing Brings Glorious Reaping" by the Reverend Theodore P Wilson is a moralistic tale woven into a fiction story likely written in the late 19th century. In it, Wilson explores themes of selfishness and unselfishness through the lives of various characters in a small country town, focusing particularly on Mary Stansfield, an orphan living with her harsh aunt, and Colonel Dawson, a new resident of Riverton Park who aims to improve the community. The narrative seems to be an examination of personal sacrifice and the impact of social class on morality. The opening of the tale sets up the anticipation surrounding the new occupant of Riverton Park and introduces Mary Stansfield, who faces the struggles of living with a bitter relative. As she walks home, she encounters Colonel Dawson, who has returned from the colonies and hopes to make a difference in the town through acts of genuine kindness. Their conversation reveals his interest in finding unselfish individuals within the community, emphasizing the moral struggle against selfishness. Meanwhile, the atmosphere of the neighborhood is defined by speculation about the new arrivals at Riverton Park, setting the stage for exploration of social dynamics, kindness, and the quest for selflessness in the characters’ actions.
