"Little Eyebright and her pund o'' care" by Agnes Giberne is a novel written in the late 19th century. It follows Euphrasia “Little Eyebright” Mackenzie as family worries, fragile finances, and a testing friendship push her to weigh anxious self-will against Christian trust, with guidance from the wise Mrs. Landor and strain from her fretful mother. The opening of Little Eyebright and her pund o'' care shows Mrs. Mackenzie fretting over health,
servants, and money while Mrs. Landor urges her to seek Christ’s promised rest. Mr. Mackenzie, bank manager and ailing, returns home shaken and secretly confides to Euphrasia a looming calamity, perhaps financial, which she must not reveal. Though her conscience wavers, Euphrasia still visits her school friend Letitia in Clifton, where she is coolly received, then badly injures her knee in a fall and becomes an unwanted invalid in the Johnston household; only the doctor, Robert Wells, shows steady kindness. Isolated and letterless, she turns to a hymn on the wideness of God’s mercy and begins to rethink trust, while the scene shifts homeward to show that at least one family letter to her was never sent, explaining part of the silence.
