Project Gutenberg 2009-02-19 Public domain in the USA. 114 Townley, Houghton Grefé, Will 1875 1957 Grefe, Will 09016440 The Scarlet Feather Produced by Roger Frank, Darleen Dove and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Scarlet Feather" by Houghton Townley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the struggles of Reverend John Swinton, his wife Mary, and their son Dick Swinton, grappling with financial ruin and moral dilemmas while navigating the pressures of societal expectations. The relationships within the family are complex, especially as they confront the weight of their financial burdens against the backdrop of impending war, creating a tension-filled narrative that explores themes of honor, loyalty, and sacrifice. The opening portion of the novel introduces the Swinton family, establishing their precarious financial situation through a scene where the rector grapples with impending bankruptcy while his wife prepares for a social evening. Tensions arise as Mary Swinton reflects on her father's meanness and her unrealistic lifestyle expectations, while the family faces a sheriff's writ for unpaid debts. As the narrative unfolds, the characters' various romances and engagements are hinted at, suggesting that deeper interpersonal conflicts and societal pressures will become central to the story. The reader gets a sense of the characters' struggles and desires as they attempt to balance personal aspirations with harsh financial realities. This sets the stage for a drama that promises both intrigue and emotional depth as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 83.8 (6th grade).
