Livingston -- The doctor's story, by "Pansy." "Profiles" by Pansy (Mrs. G. R. Alden) and Mrs. C. M. Livingston is a collection of narratives written in the late 19th century. The work features multiple stories with moral and religious themes, centered on young women navigating the complexities of personal ethics and social responsibilities. The opening chapters particularly focus on the character of Elsie Burton as she grapples with concepts of purity, influence, and self-awareness in her actions. At the start of the text, Elsie is preparing for a journey and engages in a conversation with her pastor, Dr. Falconer, who emphasizes the importance of maintaining "clean hands" in both a literal and metaphorical sense. This phrase puzzles her, leading to an introspective journey as she considers how her everyday actions and decisions may reflect on her commitment to her faith and her character. As she reads a small book gifted by Dr. Falconer, which challenges her to reflect on whether her hands could serve her Master, Elsie confronts her thoughts about etiquette, her interactions with others, and the societal pressures of being a young woman in her environment. These themes set the stage for her growth and the moral dilemmas she will confront throughout the narratives.
