Summary: "The Pillars of the House; Or, Under Wode, Under Rode, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story explores themes of family dynamics, social expectations, and personal sacrifice through the lives of the Underwood family, particularly focusing on their son, Felix Chester Underwood, and his siblings as they navigate childhood and the challenges of their circumstances. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Felix and his family as they celebrate his birthday amidst a backdrop of financial constraints. The children are filled with excitement over a birthday gift from Felix's godfather, Admiral Chester, which sets off a chain of discussions on how to spend the money. Felix displays a selfless spirit, wanting to use part of the money to buy new clothes for his sisters, highlighting the family's love and support for one another despite their struggles. The opening chapters paint a vivid picture of their domestic life, blending joy with the realities of their situation, suggesting that themes of sacrifice and familial love will be central to the evolving narrative.
