Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Doings of Doris" by Agnes Giberne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the life of Doris Winton, the daughter of a parish rector, as she navigates her duties and ambitions in a country setting overshadowed by social expectations and personal desires. The interplay of characters in Doris's life, including her father, the local Squire, and an intriguing new neighbor, hint at themes of youth, rebellion, and the quest for independence. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Clover Cottage and its occupants, including Mrs. Brutt, a talkative and somewhat intrusive new arrival who expresses admiration for Doris and her family. This beginning sets the stage for Doris's internal struggles, as Mrs. Brutt's flattery leads to a clash between Doris's longing for freedom and the obligations of her upbringing. The opening chapters feature a series of conversations that reveal family dynamics, community relationships, and establish Doris as a vibrant and multifaceted character torn between duty and the desire for a life beyond her small village.
