Summary "Madonna Mary" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Mary Ochterlony, a young wife living in British India, as she navigates the emotional turmoil stemming from her husband's restlessness and concerns over their marriage, particularly following the death of a witness to their wedding. The novel explores themes of love, honor, and societal expectations as it delves into Mary's struggles and the implications of her husband's worries. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Major Ochterlony and his wife, Mary, during a moment filled with tension following the arrival of the mail. While Major Ochterlony's anxiety is evident, stemming from the death of a man who served as a witness to their marriage, Mary is engaged in her letters filled with mundane family gossip. The conversation reveals her husband's fears regarding the legitimacy of their marriage and the potential fallout if they cannot prove it, leading to a humorous yet serious exchange. As the discussion progresses, Major Ochterlony suggests a second wedding to alleviate his worries, igniting a passionate response from Mary who recoils from the idea, feeling insulted and questioning her worth and their love. Thus, the opening portion sets a compelling stage for the exploration of their relationship amid societal pressures and personal insecurities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
