Project Gutenberg 2011-08-21 Public domain in the USA. 128 Sheard, Virna 1865 1943 Sheard, Virginia Stanton A Maid of Many Moods Produced by Al Haines "A Maid of Many Moods" by Virna Sheard is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Debora, a lively and spirited young woman who works at the One Tree Inn, a halfway house along the road from Stratford to Shottery. With themes of love, ambition, and family dynamics, Debora navigates her relationships, particularly with her brother Darby and their father, while also revealing her desire for a life beyond the confines of the inn. The opening of the novel sets the stage on Christmas Eve, where the inn is aglow with festive lights and anticipation of a visitor, Darby, who has been away. Debora's vibrant personality is apparent as she decorates the inn, much to her father's exasperation. Through engaging dialogues among the characters, we learn about the family dynamics and the close-knit community, as well as hints of Debora's yearning for more than her current existence. As she prepares for Darby's return, the narrative establishes the playful yet contentious relationship between Debora and the men in her life, setting the tone for her journey of self-discovery and the challenges ahead.
