| Summary | "The Orphans of Glen Elder" by Margaret M. Robertson is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows the struggles and resilience of orphaned siblings, Archie and Lilias Elder, who find themselves navigating the challenges of life after the death of their mother. The narrative is steeped in themes of family, faith, and perseverance, set against the backdrop of the Scottish countryside. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Aunt Janet, who arrives to visit her deceased brother's children. As she ascends the narrow staircase to find the siblings, her concern for their well-being becomes palpable. Inside, she discovers Archie, a frail boy, ill and yearning for his mother's return, while Lilias, his determined sister, strives to comfort him. The opening establishes the depth of their grief and the harsh realities they face as orphans, hinting at Aunt Janet's desire to aid them despite her own struggles. It sets the tone for a story filled with emotional complexity, exploring how the children cope with their loss and the hope that lies in familial bonds.
