I" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores the lives and domestic affairs of the Hay-Heriot family, focusing on themes of duty, relationships, and the impact of personal decisions on family dynamics. The narrative centers on Marjory Hay-Heriot, her father Thomas, and her uncle Charles, as they navigate their responsibilities and concerns regarding their family members, particularly in light of Tom, Marjory's brother, who finds himself in distressing circumstances. The opening of the novel establishes the setting at Pitcomlie House, where the Hay-Heriot family has lived for generations. We are introduced to the steady and respectable Thomas Hay-Heriot, his brother Charles, and their thoughtful niece Marjory, who exemplifies a blend of independence and care for her family, particularly her younger sister Milly. The dynamics within the household shift as they discuss the forthcoming responsibilities of the family due to Tom's recent actions and his troubling accident. As Marjory balances her compassion towards Tom with the family's traditions and expectations, she embodies a transitional figure representing the challenges faced by women of her time. The tension builds with the arrival of news regarding Tom's accident, prompting a journey fraught with emotional complexity as the characters confront their fears and the uncertainties of their future.
