"A Waif's Progress" by Rhoda Broughton is a Victorian novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young woman, Bonnybell Ransome, who finds herself in a precarious situation after the death of her mother, Claire. Without a family to turn to, she becomes thrust into the lives of the Tancred family, dealing with issues of class, morality, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the Tancred couple, who engage in a witty, yet somewhat strained, breakfast conversation about Bonnybell's arrival. Through their dialogue, we learn about Bonnybell's past, including the dubious reputation of her mother and her own uncertain future. Mr. and Mrs. Tancred exhibit a mix of curiosity and reluctance as they consider the moral implications of taking Bonnybell into their home. This sets the stage for a story that will explore themes of redemption, the social dynamics of the period, and the struggles faced by a young woman navigating a world laden with judgment and assumptions.
