| Summary | "Loveliness: A Story" by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps is a poignant narrative penned in the late 19th century. This beautifully illustrated novella centers around the deep bond between a little girl named Adah and her beloved dog, Loveliness. It explores themes of love, loss, and the profound connection between humans and their pets, as experienced through the heart-wrenching circumstances they face. The story unfolds in a serene professor's household where Loveliness, a silver Yorkshire terrier, embodies both affection and intelligence. Adah, a fragile child, relies on Loveliness for comfort and companionship. When Loveliness goes missing, the household plunges into despair, reflecting the emotional ties that bind them. Phelps intricately portrays Adah’s heartbreak and gradual decline in health as she mourns for her canine companion. The narrative reaches a climax when Loveliness is discovered in the university’s medical school, having suffered indignities that test the professor’s moral fiber. Ultimately, the reunion between Adah and Loveliness serves as a testament to the healing power of love, illustrating how joy can triumph in the face of overwhelming grief.
