E-text prepared by Al Haines "Mary Rose of Mifflin" by Frances R. Sterrett is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character Mary Rose, a young girl who moves from her familiar life in Mifflin to live with her aunt and uncle in a city apartment building where children and pets are generally not allowed. The narrative explores themes of family, belonging, and the challenges of adjusting to a new environment. At the start of the novel, Mary Rose's journey begins as she travels to the Washington Apartment House, where her Aunt Kate and Uncle Larry live. In the opening chapters, we witness the contrast between Mary Rose’s innocent, friendly nature and the cold, unwelcoming environment of the apartment building. Amidst her relatives' efforts to integrate her into city life, Mary Rose's desire to keep her beloved pets, Jenny Lind the canary and George Washington the cat, foreshadows the conflicts she faces in a place where the presence of children is frowned upon. As Mary Rose navigates her new surroundings, her quirky perspective brings both humor and warmth to her interactions with the rather aloof residents of the Washington.
