Project Gutenberg 2017-04-10 Public domain in the USA. 297 Harker, L. Allen (Lizzie Allen) 1863 1933 Harker, Lizzie Allen Miss Esperance and Mr Wycherly Miss Esperance and Mr. Wycherly Produced by Al Haines "Miss Esperance and Mr. Wycherly" by L. Allen Harker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to the titular characters, Miss Esperance, a kind-hearted old lady living in a modest home in the village of Burnhead, and Mr. Wycherly, her scholarly yet eccentric companion. The narrative likely revolves around their lives together, exploring themes of love, friendship, and the challenges they face, particularly with the arrival of two young boys who bring new dynamics into their quiet existence. The opening of the novel introduces Miss Esperance as a respected figure in the village, devoted to helping those less fortunate, and Mr. Wycherly, who is characterized by his love for literature and scholarly pursuits, though he struggles with an alcohol problem. Their lives change dramatically when they take in the boys—Montagu, a thoughtful child, and his mischievous brother Edmund—after the death of a young relative. This part of the narrative sets the stage for a blend of light-hearted and poignant events as the characters navigate their altered lives and the impact of these children on their previously simple routines. The stage is established for personal growth, unexpected adventures, and the intertwining of their fates. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 70.0 (7th grade).
