About this book
An engagement unsettles the Brougham household as Denys prepares to marry Charlie Henchman. Her sister Gertrude worries about inheriting extra chores and already imagines rearranging Denys's room, while Conway finds it difficult to welcome the young man who has won his sister's affection. Nursery pictures, keepsakes and a mother's ring give the opening its intimate scale: a family measures a happy change through the everyday things it will alter.
Mabel Mackintosh combines this domestic romance with a Christian story for younger readers about responsibility and care. In another household, Tom comforts little Harry after the loss of his mother, using faith, play and simple objects from his pockets to ease the child's distress. The novel's attention to household work, kindness and competing claims on affection makes it a useful choice for readers interested in family life and the moral expectations of older children's fiction.
