Summary "Honor Edgeworth; Or, Ottawa's Present Tense" by Vera is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of Ottawa society and delves into themes of social morality, individual aspirations, and the complexities of human relationships. The protagonist, Henry Rayne, is introduced as a kind-hearted bachelor who becomes the guardian of Honor Edgeworth, the orphaned daughter of a close friend, sparking a journey that intertwines their lives. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of Henry Rayne's character and life, as he unwinds in his cozy home while reflecting on the memories of his past. This serene moment is disrupted by a series of letters that bring news of Robert Edgeworth's death and a request to Henry to care for Honor. The chapters that follow introduce Honor, who is on her way to meet her new guardian, as well as Henry's dynamic with his servant Mrs. Potts and his nephew Guy Elersley. The narrative hints at growing tensions and emotional entanglements, suggesting that both Henry and Honor will undergo significant transformations as their relationship develops, shaped by their pasts and the societal expectations that surround them.
