Title Mary Louise Stands the Test
Credits E-text prepared by Mary Glenn Krause, Sue Clark, SueM,
Summary "Mary Louise Stands the Test" by Edith Van Dyne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Mary Louise, a young woman who grapples with her grandfather Colonel Hathaway's deteriorating mental state and the strain it places on her marriage to Danny Dexter. As she navigates the complexities of familial loyalty and love, the characters' challenges and growth unfold amid the backdrop of social expectations and personal dilemmas. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Mary Louise, who is experiencing the unfathomable tension between her love for her husband, Danny, and her deep-seated affection for her increasingly irrational grandfather. The initial chapter showcases Colonel Hathaway's troubling behavior, which causes him to express unfounded disdain for Danny, leading to a rift in their relationship. Mary Louise is torn between two loves as she observes her grandfather's decline and Danny's confusion and hurt. The complex dynamics of their relationships set the stage for Mary Louise’s journey of self-discovery and resilience as she attempts to reconcile her loyalty to her grandfather with her commitment to her husband.
