Sinopsis
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. The author explores the themes of prejudice, ambition, and the struggle for recognition in a conservative community. As Dr. Sutherland faces hostility from his fellow practitioners, he finds unexpected solace in the friendship of a local clergyman s daughter, Nancy, who defies societal expectations to assist him. Through the lens of Dr. Sutherland s journey, this book exposes the complexities of human nature, the power of perseverance, and the transformative role of compassion in the face of adversity. It is a poignant and thought-provoking tale that sheds light on the complexities of social dynamics and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to challenge them.

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.

Excerpt from The Mischief-Maker, Vol. 1 of 2
"I Wonder at you, John Gillespie! You're surprised at his success, and yet it's to you he's beholden for it."
Everybody gazed at old Mrs. Laidlaw, who is accustomed to dominate any society in which she happens to find herself; each, no doubt, looked the surprise he felt, though upon no countenance was it so plainly depicted as upon that of the minister himself - the Rev. Dr. Gillespie, of the orthodox kirk - portly, affable, with a well-filled waistcoat and a twinkling eye.
