Summary | "Tobias o' the Light: A Story of Cape Cod" by James A. Cooper is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to Tobias Bassett, the lightkeeper, and his sister Hephzibah as they navigate life and the challenges that come with their roles at the Twin Rocks Lighthouse. The narrative is set against the backdrop of Cape Cod, where the characters face the tempestuous elements of nature while dealing with personal relationships and the specter of a looming inheritance after the passing of Uncle Jethro Potts. The opening of the story focuses on a fierce winter storm that challenges Tobias as he maintains the lighthouse and interacts with his sister, who harbors concerns for his well-being. Amidst the chaos, Tobias hears a cry in the storm, which leads him to discover stranded summer visitors, Ralph Endicott and Lorna Nicholet, seeking shelter from the tempest. Tensions rise as Lorna expresses her frustrations regarding Ralph and their families' expectations of them, revealing a deeper conflict. The chapter sets the stage for character dynamics, particularly between Tobias, who is good-hearted yet practical, and the younger characters, whose romantic entanglements are complicated by their family legacies and societal expectations.
