Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Discipline: A Story of the Development of a Young Girl's Life" by Jennie M. Drinkwater is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Tessa Wadsworth, a young girl navigating the complexities of love and self-discovery while grappling with her feelings for Ralph Towne, a seemingly oblivious young man. As Tessa's heart grows fonder for him, she also faces the harsh realities of her emotions and the societal expectations around her. The opening portion of the novel introduces Tessa as she reflects on her relationship with Ralph Towne. She observes him from her home and expresses the joy and hope his presence brings her, despite his apparent lack of awareness regarding her feelings. Tessa grapples with her emotions, demonstrating youthful enthusiasm tempered by a growing awareness of the world around her. Ralph, in turn, exhibits a mix of self-reproach and confusion, revealing a man struggling with his own feelings and responsibilities. This initial exploration of unreciprocated love sets the stage for a deeper examination of Tessa's character, her aspirations, and the challenges she faces in growing up amidst expectations and disappointments.
