Old Lady Mary is a novel written by Margaret O. Oliphant. The story revolves around the titular character, Lady Mary, who is a wealthy and independent woman living in the Victorian era. Despite her age, Lady Mary is not ready to retire from her active social life and continues to host parties and entertain guests. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when her nephew, who is also her heir, dies suddenly, leaving her estate in jeopardy. Lady Mary must navigate through the challenges of managing her estate and dealing with the expectations of her family and society. Along the way, she forms unexpected friendships and learns valuable lessons about love, loyalty, and the importance of family. The novel is a compelling portrait of a strong and vibrant woman who defies societal norms and expectations. It is a timeless story that explores themes of aging, family, and the complexities of human relationships.And there came into her heart a longing to fly, to get home, to be back in the land where her fellows were, and her appointed place. A child lost, how pitiful that is! without power to reason and divine how help will come; but a soul lost, outside of one method of existence, withdrawn from the other, knowing no way to retrace its steps, nor how help can come! There had been no bitterness in passing from earth to the land where she had gone; but now there came upon her soul, in all the power of her new faculties, the bitterness of death. The place which was hers she had forsaken and left, and the place that had been hers knew her no more.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
