Excerpt from The Mischief-Maker, Vol. 1 of 2
Nobody was considerate enough to tell us that the road to social success lay through Mrs. Laidlaw's front parlour; but, if we had' been told, it would have been without avail, for S'utherland's back is of the cast-iron order, made without a hinge and as for me, ill-health has always permitted me the privileges and' consolations of a bachelor, to whom a lady's drawing-room is a tempt incognita.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating and multifaceted chronicle that delves into the life and experiences of a young doctor, Dr. Sutherland, whose arrival in a small, established industrial town incites both support and opposition. The narrative is set in a period characterized by social and economic change, where traditional values are challenged by the march of industrial progress.

As Dr. Sutherland faces hostility from his fellow practitioners, he finds unexpected solace in the friendship of a local clergymanâs daughter, Nancy, who defies societal expectations to assist him.
