Description
Mary Holmes wrote Mildred, a novel printed at New York in 1877. Her other works, listed on the title page, include Edith Lyle, Tempest and Sunshine, Lena Rivers, and Ethelyn's Mistake. A line from Southey serves as motto: love soweth here with toil and care, but the harvest time of love is there. Holmes dedicates the story to her publisher's wife, in memory of happy hours.
Contents open with a storm, and what it brought. Village gossip follows, then nine years later. Oliver and Mildred visit Beechwood, and Lawrence Thornton gives advice, with consequences. Lilian and Mildred, the river, Lawrence deceived and undeceived, the proposal, and the answer fill the middle. Holmes's domestic tales sold by the million to the readers of the story papers.
