Summary: "Laddie and Miss Toosey's Mission" by Evelyn Whitaker is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young man known as Laddie, who has grown up and made his way to London as a successful doctor, John Carter. The narrative opens with Laddie's mother, an old country woman, embarking on a journey to visit him, revealing her deep affection and pride in her son, which is juxtaposed against the realities of social class differences and Laddie's attempts to navigate his new life while managing his past.
