Summary "Baby Mine" by Margaret Mayo is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the contrasting perspectives of two friends, Alfred Hardy and Jimmy Jinks, as they navigate their college years and early adulthood. Alfred is depicted as an idealist with strong convictions about marriage and home life, while Jimmy takes a more laid-back, skeptical approach, pondering the feasibility of Alfred's lofty expectations in finding the perfect partner. The opening of the novel introduces the two main characters during their college days. Alfred passionately describes his vision of a domestic life with a perfect homemaker wife while Jimmy humorously reflects on the impracticality of Alfred's ideals, particularly when he considers the young women they know. In this initial setting, Alfred's serious demeanor is comically contrasted with Jimmy's more carefree attitude, illustrating a humorous dynamic between the two. The chapter culminates in Alfred's introduction of a whimsical young woman named Zoie, setting the stage for the ensuing romantic entanglements and challenges that ultimately test their friendship and the foundations of their ideals.
