| Summary | "Margie's Venture: or, When the Ship Comes Home" by Mary E. Ropes is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book revolves around the life of Margery "Margie" Grayling, who, facing various personal and familial challenges, ventures into a new role as an attendant for an invalid lady, Mrs. Beach. The story explores themes of love, betrayal, and social class, encapsulated in the lives of the Grayling family and their interactions with others in society. The narrative begins with Margie's life at home, characterized by familial pressures due to financial constraints. Margie decides to take a position with Mrs. Beach to relieve some of these burdens. However, she encounters jealousy and malice from Mabel Raye, Mrs. Beach's niece, culminating in a plot to tarnish Margie's character by framing her for theft. Amidst these trials, Margie finds solace in her friendship with Clara, the invalid. As the drama unfolds, Margie's internal conflicts grow, particularly regarding her feelings for Harry Mayne, who is away at sea. Ultimately, the resolution of the story involves themes of forgiveness and redemption, leading to a heartfelt reunion between Margie and Harry. The novel concludes with the hopeful assertion that Margie’s perseverance through hardship will be rewarded with love and happiness. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
