Explore "The Waiting Years" by Blanche Colton Williams on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
CLASSIFICATION. This short-story illustrates grouping for sake of climactic effect. Events of forty years are illuminated by the happenings of a day. The narrative has both an outer and an inner action.
PLOT. The plot of the combined inner and outer story is quite simple. The _initial impulse_ consists of Mark Faraday's interest in Miss Allison Clyde. The _dramatic climax_, if such it may be called, lies in the finding of the love-letters which his Uncle William had written and never sent to Allison. The _climax of action_ is his handing the package of letters to Allison.
