| Summary | "The Touch of Abner" by H. A. Cody is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is centered around Abner Andrews, a rather humorous and outspoken countryman with simple yet profound thoughts on life, societal norms, and the struggles of rural living. As he interacts with various characters in his community, particularly concerning the well-being of orphans and the realities of poverty, the narrative unfolds his adventures and misadventures, driven by his charm, gall, and a hint of stubbornness. The opening of the novel introduces us to Abner at a town meeting discussing the establishment of an orphanage. His dramatic and impulsive pledge of a thousand dollars sparks reactions from the attendees, prompting debates about generosity and social responsibilities. Accompanied by his wife Tildy, Abner displays an unapologetic demeanor, questioning the sincerity of others' contributions to community causes. We get a glimpse of his character through his candid discussions with Tildy about their financial struggles, his humorous takes on society, and his sentimental connections to the orphans, indicating that while he often appeared foolish, there is wisdom and depth to his observations on human nature and societal norms. His character, laden with charm and comedic relief, sets the stage for what promises to be an engaging exploration of rural life's challenges and social commentary.
