(William Thomas) 1858 1920 Smedley, William Thomas Smedley, W.T. The Uncle of an Angel 1891 Produced by David Widger "The Uncle of an Angel" by Thomas A. Janvier is a novel written in the late 19th century. This comedic narrative explores the complexities of familial relationships, particularly focusing on the unexpected guardianship of the protagonist, Mr. Hutchinson Port, over his charming yet high-spirited niece, Dorothy. Central to the book is the clash between Mr. Port’s rigid, health-conscious lifestyle and Dorothy's lively desire for adventure and social excitement. In the story, Mr. Port, a somewhat bilious and proper Philadelphian, finds himself reluctantly responsible for his niece after the death of her mother. The novel follows their journey through various American vacation spots, notably Saratoga and Narragansett Pier, as Dorothy attempts to introduce spontaneity into her uncle's overly structured life. Their dynamic is both humorous and poignant as Dorothy employs her charm and cleverness to navigate her uncle's conventions and, ultimately, assert herself against his authority. The unfolding story reveals the tensions between generational expectations, the pursuit of personal happiness, and the struggle for autonomy, culminating in Dorothy's clever maneuvering to achieve her desires and Mr. Port’s reluctant acceptance of her emerging independence.
