That Stick
"That Stick" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of social status, fidelity, and personal growth, focusing on the lives of Frank Morton, who unexpectedly inherits a title and estate, and Mary Marshall, his long-time fiancée who grapples with her self-worth in relation to his new status. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Miss Marshall and Mr. Morton, who has just learned he is to become Lord Northmoor after the death of his distant relatives. Excited yet conflicted, Frank shares the news with Mary, eliciting a mix of joy and anxiety within her. As Mary reflects on their long engagement and fears about conforming to the expectations that come with nobility, we see her dedication to Frank and her struggle with her own feelings of inadequacy. Their impending marriage is met with mixed reactions from their acquaintances, revealing societal tensions that plague their lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
