Summary: "The Trial; Or, More Links of the Daisy Chain" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a novel written during the mid-19th century. It delves into themes of family, illness, and the challenges of personal duty as various characters navigate complex social and emotional landscapes. The story revolves around the May family, particularly focusing on Dr. May and his children, as they confront domestic trials, the impact of sickness, and the interplay of love and responsibility in times of crisis. The beginning of the novel introduces the May family during a period marked by both celebration and impending tragedy, contextualized by recent weddings within the family. The narrative unfolds in a drawing-room conversation among family members, where discussions about letters, health issues, and their daily lives take center stage. Amidst playful banter, there is an undercurrent of tension related to sickness in the community, which is foreshadowed by the doctor’s concerns and the children’s antics.
