Summary "The Ladies Lindores, Vol. 2 (of 3)" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work continues the exploration of the lives and social entanglements of the Lindores family, notably focusing on the young and curious Lord Millefleurs and the romantic implications surrounding him and the other characters. Through a tapestry of intricate relationships and societal pressures, the narrative delves into themes of love, identity, and the expectations placed upon individuals by family and society. At the start of this volume, readers are reintroduced to Lord Millefleurs, whose unconventional escapades in America and charmingly boyish demeanor create a humorous contrast to the serious concerns of his family regarding his future. As he mingles with the young women of high society, including Edith Lindores, the narrative sets the stage for complex interactions laden with social commentary. Meanwhile, the dynamics between Lady Lindores, her daughter Edith, and Lord Millefleurs evolve, revealing tensions around romance and ambition that suggest deeper undercurrents of desire and societal expectation. This opening establishes a rich groundwork for the entanglement of the characters, alluding to the interplay of innocence, societal roles, and the quest for personal happiness amidst the constraints of their status.
