| Summary | "Through Welsh Doorways" by Jeannette Augustus Marks is a collection of short stories likely written in the early 20th century. The narratives explore life in Welsh communities, focusing on themes of love, sacrifice, and community among the characters, often with a touch of humor and poignancy. The stories are infused with a sense of rural charm and simplicity, reflecting both the struggles and joys of everyday life. The opening portion introduces the character of Annie, who deeply cares for her ailing husband, David. As she strives to bring him comfort, she practices singing the cuckoo’s call, which he longingly wishes to hear one last time. The dialogue reveals Annie's determination to shield David from the reality of his condition, even if it means deceiving him for his happiness. Intriguingly, the narrative sets up a conflict with the community’s expectations and Annie’s unwavering devotion, hinting at deeper themes of truth and love throughout the unfolding stories.
