Old Lady Mary is a novel written by Margaret O. Oliphant that tells the story of an elderly woman named Mary who lives a quiet life in a small English village. Despite her age and frailty, Mary is a respected member of the community and is known for her kind heart and gentle nature. However, her peaceful existence is disrupted when her nephew and his wife come to stay with her, bringing with them their own problems and tensions. As Mary tries to navigate these new dynamics, she also reflects on her own life and the choices she has made. Old Lady Mary is a poignant and insightful exploration of aging, family, and the complexities of human relationships.And there came into her heart a longing to fly, to get home, to be back in the land where her fellows were, and her appointed place. A child lost, how pitiful that is! without power to reason and divine how help will come; but a soul lost, outside of one method of existence, withdrawn from the other, knowing no way to retrace its steps, nor how help can come! There had been no bitterness in passing from earth to the land where she had gone; but now there came upon her soul, in all the power of her new faculties, the bitterness of death. The place which was hers she had forsaken and left, and the place that had been hers knew her no more.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
