"A Pair of Them" by Evelyn Raymond is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to two young girls from very different backgrounds: Bonny-Gay, a privileged child, and Mary Jane, a hunchbacked girl from a less affluent area. The novel delves into themes of friendship, compassion, and overcoming adversity, demonstrating how these two girls' paths intertwine despite their contrasting lives. At the start of the book,
we meet Bonny-Gay, who is an energetic child with a deep affection for her dog, Max. During an outing with a mysterious "Gray Gentleman," her fun is interrupted when Max causes chaos, leading to an accident that leaves her seriously injured. Meanwhile, Mary Jane, who is caring and selfless despite her own physical challenges, is introduced as she navigates her responsibilities at home. The narrative sets up a poignant contrast between their lives while also hinting at their eventual meeting, as both girls begin to reflect on their unique circumstances and the bonds that may bring them together.
