| Summary | "The Athelings; or, the Three Gifts, Vol. 2/3" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the lives of Agnes and Marian Atheling, two young sisters who have recently entered the world of the aristocracy, navigating their new life at a mansion called the Willows, as well as the complexities of friendship and social expectations. The plot hints at themes of class distinction and the struggles they face in reconciling their modest background with the lavish lifestyle of their new acquaintances. The opening of this section introduces the Willows, a picturesque riverside villa, highlighting the beauty of its surroundings and how it captivates the innocent and inexperienced sisters, Agnes and Marian. They are both mesmerized by the elegance they experience but feel out of place in this new environment. As they explore the grounds, they speculate about their new acquaintances, particularly a mysterious girl named Rachel, who is portrayed as complex and troubled. The sisters grapple with feelings of admiration for the grace and accomplishments of their peers, while contemplating their own self-worth and desire for friendship, setting the stage for the intricate social dynamics to unfold throughout the narrative.
