Lynn Hill "Tish: The Chronicle of Her Escapades and Excursions" by Mary Roberts Rinehart is a work of fiction likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around Tish Carberry, a spirited middle-aged woman who, along with her aunts, embarks on a series of amusing, and often chaotic, adventures that reflect her zest for life and independence. The book delves into themes of friendship, societal norms, and the antics that arise from Tish's exuberant personality. The opening of the story introduces Tish and her two companions, Lizzie and Aggie, as they embark on an excursion to Morris Valley. It sets a humorous tone outlining the trio’s characters and hints at Tish's disruptive and adventurous spirit. The inciting incident occurs when Tish is asked to look after her friend's daughter, Bettina, who has strong opinions about life, marriage, and independence. As the dynamics between Tish, her companions, and the younger generation unfold, the narrative teases various mishaps, including an encounter with Jasper, a local young man, and hints at Tish's unorthodox ways of addressing challenges, like using a racing car to assert her independence. The opening portion sets the stage for both comedic and possibly romantic entanglements as Tish navigates her world without conventional restrictions.
