Summary "Mr. Wayt's Wife's Sister" by Marion Harland is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces readers to a variety of characters, including March Gilchrist, a young man recently returned from sea, and his interactions with two sisters, Hetty and Hester Alling, who navigate life with a sense of duty and familial affection amidst their challenges. The book likely explores themes of family relationships, social dynamics, and the complexities of life in a pastoral setting. The beginning of the narrative captures the bustling scene at a New Jersey ferry terminal, where March Gilchrist narrowly misses his train home. He encounters Hetty, who is caring for her sister Hester, a physically disabled girl. March's kind demeanor sets the tone for the social interactions that follow, providing a glimpse into the struggles and resilience of the Alling sisters. The characters are richly drawn, giving readers an early sense of the dynamics at play in their lives, particularly Hetty’s steadfastness and Hester’s yearning for artistic expression amid her limitations. The opening portions lay the groundwork for an exploration of their relationships and the impact of societal expectations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
