Title: Friend and foe : Or, the breastplate of righteousness
Original Publication: London: Gall & Inglis, 1875.
Summary: "Friend and foe: Or, the breastplate of righteousness" by A. L. O. E. is a moral tale written during the Victorian era, reflecting the values of that time. This work primarily revolves around themes of integrity, personal responsibility, and the challenges of adhering to one's principles amidst societal temptations. The narrative deeply explores the character of Norah Peele, a young servant girl, as she grapples with moral dilemmas and the importance of righteousness in her daily life. The story follows Norah as she navigates the complexities of her relationships with her family, friends, and her strict employer, Mrs. Martin. After a thought-provoking conversation with her uncle Ned, who serves as a moral compass, Norah resolves to live a life of integrity, but faces challenges from her friend Sophy, who embodies the lure of a more carefree life filled with temptations. Throughout the narrative, Norah grows from an uncertain girl influenced by her surroundings into a figure of honesty and virtue, ultimately choosing the path of righteousness even when it means rejecting the fleeting pleasures that Sophy represents. The resolution sees her strengthened in her convictions, an example of the triumph of good character over moral ambiguity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
