Kilmeny Of The OrchardMontgomery Kilmeny of the Orchard is a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery.A young man named Eric Marshall goes to teach a school on Prince Edward Island and meets Kilmeny, a mute girl who has perfect hearing. He sees her when he is walking through an old orchard and hears her playing the violin. He visits her a number of times and gradually falls in love with her. When he proposes she rejects him, even though she loves him in return, believing that her disability will only hinder his life if they were married, despite his protests that it wouldn't matter at all.Meanwhile, Eric's good friend David who is a renowned throat doctor, comes to the island and visits Eric. He examines Kilmeny, and says that nothing will cure her but an extreme psychological need to speak.Eric Marshall: The male protagonist in the story. He is described as one of those men regarding whom less-favoured mortals are tempted to wonder why all the gifts of fortune should be showered on one individual.[1] His one fault seems to be extreme pragmatism.

Larry describes her as She-Who- Must-Be- Obeyed.Old Robert Williamson: Mrs. Williamson's husband, a talkative, gossipy man.Thomas Gordon: Kilmeny's uncle, who helped raise her after her mother's death three years back. He is well-read, and wins any argument he enters, although he becomes embarrassed for days after.Janet Gordon: Kilmeny's aunt, who helped raise her after her mother's death three years back. An intelligent woman. she stays in the woman's sphere, but enjoys seeing her brother bested.Margaret Gordon: Kilmeny's dead mother, whose stubbornness and influence last past the grave.
