My Lady Bountiful by Fred M. White

There was a charm about Caradoc that could not fail to appeal to Kathleen's artistic feeling. Her first successful issue in fiction she had regarded more in the light of a splendid joke than anything else; but the thoughtful, brooding silence of Caradoc was opening up new fields to her.

The charm of the old place was falling upon her like a mantle. Her imagination was inflamed. There were fresh and original types of character to her hand. And there was the pathos and tenderness of Margaret's love story to crown all. It would be a glorious thing to write a novel all about Caradoc and the people there, and to work it all out to a happy ending--the marriage of Margaret, for instance, and the transformation of the twins. But this latter part of the plot puzzled Kathleen exceedingly. She wanted to invent some social cataclysm to bring Mrs. Eldred-Wolfram in line with modernity.
