Produced by Al Haines
"The Rhymer" by Allan McAulay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in 1787 and centers around Mr. Graham, a gentleman who struggles with the challenge of marrying off his seven daughters amidst financial constraints and societal expectations. The plot begins to take shape with the arrival of a potential suitor, Mr. Cheape, sparking a mixture of hope and anxiety regarding his daughters' futures. The opening of the book introduces Mr. Graham and his family dynamics, particularly highlighting his wife’s eagerness to see their daughters settled, particularly their eldest, Alison. As Mr. Graham contemplates their financial difficulties, there is a comical yet tense anticipation regarding the fate that awaits them when Mr. Cheape arrives for an introduction to the daughters. Alison, portrayed as a practical yet innocent young woman, is caught in her mother's ambitions and societal pressures, foreshadowing the conflicts between personal desires and familial duties that will likely evolve as the story progresses.
