| Summary | "Mary Gray" by Katharine Tynan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of Mary Gray, a compassionate and hard-working young girl, as she navigates the challenges of her upbringing in the drab Wistaria Terrace, where she is tasked with caring for her numerous siblings and supporting her overburdened stepmother. The narrative explores themes of duty, family dynamics, and the aspiration for a better life. The opening of the story introduces readers to Mary Gray's humble beginnings in a modest house overshadowed by a grand church. Her father, a watchmaker, is introspective and shares philosophical musings with Mary, providing her with a glimpse into a world beyond their impoverished existence. A pivotal moment arises when Mary bravely rescues Lady Anne Hamilton's dog from an oncoming tram, resulting in a broken arm, which sets off a chain of events that could alter the course of her life. This incident leads to her introduction to Lady Anne, who recognizes Mary's potential and begins to take an interest in her future, foreshadowing the changes that lie ahead.
