"Beechcroft at Rockstone" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Merrifield family, particularly focusing on the challenges they face following an accident involving Sir Jasper Merrifield, which prompts a family dispersion and various arrangements to care for the younger members of the family. Notably, the characters of Jane and Adeline Mohun, along with Lady Merrifield and her children, present a portrayal of family dynamics, loyalty, and responsibilities in times of crisis. The opening of the novel introduces us to the urgent situation following a telegram informing the Merrifield family of an accident involving Sir Jasper. The anxiety of the family members, particularly Miss Adeline, is palpable as they discuss the implications of this news. We also meet Lady Merrifield and her children, Gillian, Valetta, and Fergus, highlighting the relationships and emotional strain on them as they prepare for Lady Merrifield's departure to care for her husband. As the various characters plan their next steps, the narrative sets the stage for the ensuing adventures, adjustments, and heartfelt interactions that will define their time together at Rockstone, illustrating the theme of familial support amidst adversity.
