| Summary | "Daisy of 'Old Meadow'" by Agnes Giberne is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of Daisy Meads, a gentle and resilient young girl, and the challenges she faces living with her cantankerous father, Isaac Meads, who prioritizes money over familial bonds. Themes of love, sacrifice, and the struggle for morality in the face of hardship permeate the narrative, while Daisy's character illuminates the innocence and strength of youth. The opening of the novel introduces a village scene where gossip and concern about the eccentricities of Isaac Meads stir among the local shopkeepers. The chapter highlights Daisy’s oppressed existence, providing insights into her close relationship with her childhood nurse, Mary Davis. As Mary learns more about the difficulties Daisy faces at home, we see the unfolding tension between the young girl's gentle spirit and her father's stinginess and emotional distance. The introduction sets the stage for Daisy's resilience and the key relational dynamics that will drive the narrative forward, ultimately leading to the dramatic events of the storm that significantly impact their lives.
