Summary "Mary Louise Adopts a Soldier" by Edith Van Dyne is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mary Louise, a spirited young girl, and her grandfather, Colonel Hathaway, as they navigate life after the Great War and welcome returning soldiers to their small town of Dorfield. Central to the plot is their interaction with Danny Dexter, a soldier who becomes a point of interest for Mary Louise, leading to themes of friendship, duty, and the complexities of human nature. The opening of the book introduces readers to Mary Louise and her grandfather as they discuss the return of the Dorfield Regiment. Mary Louise expresses her desire to welcome the soldiers and possibly help those who have no homes to return to. Their conversation reveals her warmth and patriotism, which set the tone for the story. As they prepare to greet the soldiers, a deeper narrative unfolds surrounding the enigmatic figure of Danny Dexter, whose motivations seem more complicated than initially apparent. The reader is drawn into a mix of community spirit and suspense as Mary Louise's interactions hint at a budding mystery involving Danny and the soldiers returning from war.
