Project Gutenberg 2004-06-01 Public domain in the USA. 163 MacDonald, George 1824 1905 What's Mine's Mine — Volume 1 Produced by Charles Aldarondo and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "What's Mine's Mine — Volume 1" by George MacDonald is a novel created during the late 19th century. The narrative introduces us to the Palmer family, who have just arrived at their newly acquired estate in the Scottish Highlands, and reveals their interactions and experiences in this unfamiliar yet beautiful setting. The story centers around themes of class, personal identity, and heritage, especially through the contrasting lives of the Palmer family and the local inhabitants, particularly the young Macruadh and his foster-brother Lachlan. The opening portion of the novel establishes a rich backdrop by describing the Palmer family's opulent dining room and their initial impressions of the stunning landscapes outside their windows. In this manifestation, MacDonald contrasts wealth with a deeper appreciation for nature and individual character. We are introduced to characters such as Peregrine Palmer, the father, and his two daughters, Christina and Mercy, who navigate their new surroundings with a sense of entitlement and superficiality. Simultaneously, we meet Alister Macruadh, the last chief of the clan, who is acutely aware of the loss of his family's land and dignity amidst the social upheaval surrounding him. This initial exploration sets the stage for intricate interpersonal dynamics and the unfolding drama between wealth and tradition in the Highland setting.
