Summary: "Nell, of Shorne Mills: or, One Heart's Burden" by Charles Garvice is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of Nell Lorton, a spirited young woman living with her brother Dick and their stepmother, Mrs. Lorton, in the picturesque village of Shorne Mills. Through her interactions with her family and the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Drake Vernon, the narrative hints at themes of love, identity, and the complexities of social class. The opening portion of the book introduces us to the lively relationship between Nell and Dick, highlighting their playful bickering and their dynamic as siblings. Nell, tasked with household chores, becomes frustrated with Dick's banjo playing while she attempts to check the butcher's book. The atmosphere shifts when they take care of their delicate stepmother, Mrs. Lorton, who embodies a kind of genteel entitlement. As a stranger, Drake Vernon enters their lives after falling off his horse near their home, adding an element of intrigue and potential romance that could transform Nell’s world and ignite her yearning for excitement beyond the confines of her mundane existence.
