| Summary | "Little 'Why-because'" by Agnes Giberne is a children's fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around a young girl named Hecla, who is described as energetic and restless, as she adjusts to life with her aunts after the passing of her mother. This story explores themes of childhood curiosity, learning, and the challenges of growing up with a new family dynamic, especially as Hecla prepares to welcome her younger cousin, Ivy. The beginning of the story introduces Hecla, who is full of questions and energy, often distracting her strict Aunt Millicent while she attempts to teach her about various tasks, such as hemming a handkerchief. Their interactions exhibit Hecla's curious spirit, as she bombards her aunt with questions about the world, often leading to amusing moments that underline her fidgetiness. Additionally, the narrative sets the stage for the introduction of Ivy, a younger cousin who will come to stay with them, adding to the story's exploration of family and responsibility. The opening establishes the contrasting personalities of the two children, with Hecla's impulsiveness juxtaposed against Ivy's quieter demeanor, hinting at the challenges and developments that will unfold as their relationship grows.
