| Summary | "Harold's Bride: A Tale" by A. L. O. E. is a work of fiction likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the young missionary Harold Hartley and his bride, Alicia, as they navigate life and challenges in a missionary station in India. This tale explores themes of duty, personal sacrifice, and the cultural complexities faced by Westerners in a foreign land, particularly through the perspective of Alicia, who is adjusting to her new role within the mission community. The opening portion introduces us to the setting and characters, beginning with Robin Hartley, Harold's brother, who is in the midst of constructing a home for Harold and Alicia's arrival. The narrative captures Robin's frustrations with the building progress and his reflections on his brother's imminent marriage. As events unfold, we learn about Harold's commitment to his mission work, his deep affection for Alicia, and her delicate nature, which may pose challenges in adapting to life in a remote Indian village. The story begins to construct a vivid picture of their lives as missionaries, exploring Alicia's internal struggles with her new environment and responsibilities, setting the stage for her journey of growth in this foreign land.
