Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Mattie:—A Stray (Vol 2 of 3)" by F. W. Robinson is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Mattie, a young woman facing trials and tribulations that threaten her newfound stability and happiness. In this installment, significant tensions arise between her and Mr. Wesden, her employer, due to misunderstandings and suspicions that test her integrity. At the start of this portion, Mattie is deeply concerned about her position after Mr. Wesden's gruff reprimand regarding a recent incident. Following her distressing encounter with Mr. Wesden, she grapples with feelings of disgrace and contemplates her future. The narrative unfolds with her reflection on absences—both of Harriet, her dear friend, and Sidney, a man she seems to care for. Fearing for Harriet's safety after she fails to return home, Mattie ventures out into the cold early morning to search for her friend, suspecting foul play. Their conversations reveal complexities in their relationships, particularly surrounding allegiance and friendship, as both young women navigate societal expectations and personal feelings within an atmosphere rife with distrust.
