| Summary | "Mrs. Dorriman: A Novel. Volume 1 of 3" by Mrs. Henry Wayland Chetwynd is a fictional piece written in the late 19th century. The novel centers around the life of Mrs. Dorriman, a bewildered woman grappling with the complexities of her past and her current precarious position dependent on her older brother. As she navigates through her feelings of loss, independence, and despair, her character is put to the test by the command to sell her beloved home and move in with her brother. At the start of the book, Mrs. Dorriman is portrayed in a state of inner turmoil, contemplating her brother's recent letter commanding her to vacate her residence at Inchbrae. Sitting under a rowan tree overlooking the sea, Mrs. Dorriman reflects on her unfortunate life events, including a loveless marriage and her inability to understand her financial situation. Despite a sense of obligation toward her brother, she struggles with the forced change and contemplates an act of rebellion against his wishes. The opening section sets a poignant tone, exploring themes of dependence, loss, and the longing for a life that offers more than just survival. Amidst turmoil and uncertainty, her decision to seek advice from the local banker indicates her desperation and desire for some semblance of control over her life’s direction.
