Summary "Laddie and Miss Toosey's Mission" by Evelyn Whitaker is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young man known as Laddie, who has grown up and made his way to London as a successful doctor, John Carter. The narrative opens with Laddie's mother, an old country woman, embarking on a journey to visit him, revealing her deep affection and pride in her son, which is juxtaposed against the realities of social class differences and Laddie's attempts to navigate his new life while managing his past. At the start of the book, the scene is set on a train where the old woman, overwhelmed by her journey and new surroundings, is introduced alongside Laddie’s character through her fond recollections of him. As the train rolls forward, she recounts stories of Laddie's childhood to fellow travelers, showcasing the warmth of their relationship. Simultaneously, we are introduced to Laddie as he starts to grapple with his complex feelings about his mother's arrival in his more sophisticated world. The opening establishes a range of themes, including familial love, social class, and the challenges of reconciling one's past with present ambitions, hinting at the emotional conflicts and character developments that will unfold throughout the story.
