Summary "Miss Merivale's Mistake" by Mrs. Henry Clarke is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Miss Merivale, a kind-hearted but somewhat anxious woman, and her relationships with two young girls, Pauline and Rose. The narrative dives deep into themes of social class, personal identity, and familial bonds, particularly as Miss Merivale grapples with the discovery of a potential niece named Rhoda Sampson, touching upon her complex past and the implications of unrecognized relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Miss Merivale, who is having a moment of contemplative solitude while listening to her companions, Rose and Pauline Smythe, chat animatedly about a new acquaintance, Rhoda Sampson. Miss Merivale's attention is piqued when the name Rhoda is mentioned, unveiling her deep-seated concerns about family connections, as she reflects on her ties to Rhoda through her sister Lydia. As the chapter unfolds, we see the dynamics of the relationships around Miss Merivale, including Pauline's dismissive attitude toward Rhoda, which creates tension and suspense regarding the nature of Rhoda's character and her significance in the story. The opening establishes a vivid backdrop of interpersonal dialogue, revealing ambitions, insecurities, and hopes that seem to foreshadow the central conflicts that will unfold throughout the novel.
