Lothrop Company, $c1888. "Monteagle" by Pansy is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book likely centers on themes of compassion, faith, and personal growth, focusing on the experiences of a main character named Dilly West, a frail young girl from a poor background, and the contrasting world of Mrs. Hammond’s privileged family. Through the interactions between these characters—especially as Dilly is given the chance to recover her health at the mountain retreat of Monteagle—the story explores the effects of kindness, class differences, and spiritual development. The opening of the book introduces Dilly West and her father struggling with poverty and illness in a stifling city setting. Dilly’s fragile health and yearning for relief prompt Mrs. Hammond, a wealthy and benevolent woman, to invite her to Monteagle to act as a companion for her young daughter, Ethel. The narrative then follows Dilly’s astonishment and gratitude as she receives care, new clothes, and nourishing food, marking the first positive turn in her bleak circumstances. As Dilly arrives at Monteagle, she experiences awe at the mountain scenery, warmth from Mrs. Hammond’s circle, and new social and spiritual challenges, including budding friendships and soul-searching conversations about faith and purpose, both with Mrs. Hammond’s skeptical son, Hart, and others at the vacation retreat. The earlier chapters establish both Dilly’s innocence and resilience, as well as the beginnings of transformation for several characters around her.
