| Summary | "Timothy's Quest" by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Timothy Jessup, who takes on parental responsibilities for his baby sister, Lady Gay, after their mother, Flossy Morrison, passes away. Faced with the harsh realities of life in a dilapidated urban environment, Timothy’s quest is to find a loving home for himself and Lady Gay, showcasing themes of love, resilience, and the search for belonging. At the start of the narrative, Flossy Morrison has recently died, leaving behind her two children, Timothy and Lady Gay. The opening describes the dreary and impoverished setting of Minerva Court, where Timothy lives. As two women discuss the fate of the children, little Timothy quietly resolves to save Lady Gay from being taken to an orphan asylum. He devises a plan to escape with her, embarking on a daring journey with their loyal dog, Rags. Timothy dreams of finding a mother who will love Lady Gay as he does, setting the stage for their adventures. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
