(William Babington) 1866 1938 Maxwell, William Babington Spinster of This Parish Produced by Andrew Sly, Al Haines and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Spinster of This Parish" by W. B. Maxwell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of Mildred Parker, a modern young woman facing the temptations and trials of love, and Miss Verinder, her seemingly old-fashioned but refined confidante. As the narrative unfolds, themes of love, societal expectations, and the contrast between youthful passion and the wisdom of experience emerge. The opening of the novel introduces Mildred, who, in a moment of desperation, seeks the counsel of Miss Verinder, an acquaintance of her family. Mildred is filled with youthful ardor as she confides her feelings about a famous actor named Alwyn Beckett, detailing the challenges posed by her parents' disapproval. The contrasting nature of their personalities is highlighted through their dialogue and actions; while Mildred exhibits a passionate and modern perspective on love, Miss Verinder embodies a more subdued, traditional viewpoint. As the connection between the two women deepens through their conversation, the stage is set for an exploration of the complexities of love and societal norms in their world.
