Summary "Two Women or One? From The Mss. of Dr. Leonard Benary" by Henry Harland is a novel written in the late 19th century. This story unfolds around Dr. Leonard Benary, a retired physician, who encounters a mysterious and troubled young woman one fateful night, leading to a complicated narrative concerning identity, redemption, and the power of memory. Through the character of Louise Massarte, who is in despair and contemplating suicide, the story explores deep themes of morality, personal history, and the notion of rebirth. The opening of the novel sets a tense scene on a dark, stormy night as Dr. Benary finds himself drawn to a mysterious woman near a river, fearing she may intend to end her life. After an awkward and intense exchange, she reveals her desperate circumstances, igniting a discussion on suicide and the value of life. Despite her cold demeanor and claims of being beyond help or hope, Benary insists on helping her, leading to an agreement for her to stay with him for an hour. As they converse, her past unravels, exposing her as a convict who has escaped from prison. This initial encounter marks the beginning of an intricate journey involving identity, transformation, and the intertwining fates of two women, as Benary's resolve to assist her could lead to unexpected consequences.
