"A Yellow Aster, Volume 1 (of 3)" by Mrs. Mannington Caffyn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the lives of the Waring family, particularly focusing on the interactions between the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Waring, and their two children, Gwen and Dacre. The story explores themes of upbringing, the tension between scientific inquiry and emotional development, and the challenges of parenting in a rapidly changing world. The beginning of the novel introduces us to the bustling household at Waring Park, highlighting the lively, chaotic scenes involving the children. We witness a mixture of innocence and mischief as young Dacre engages in playful cruelty with a turkey while Mary, the caretaker, scolds him for his behavior. Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Waring are drawn into a spirited debate over a recently unearthed fossil, providing a glimpse into their intellectual pursuits and the contrasting ways they handle their children's upbringing. The opening sets the stage for the Waring family's unique dynamics and hints at the larger, philosophical questions they grapple with regarding education, nature, and morality.
