Young Lives Summary
| Behind the Venetian blinds of a respectable middle-class, fifty-pound-a-year, semi-detached, family house, in a respectable middle-class road of the little north-county town of Sidon, midway between the trees of wealth upon the hill, and the business quarters that ended in squalor on the bank of the broad and busy river, - a house boasting a few shabby trees of its own, in its damp little rockeried slips of front and back gardens, - on a May evening some ten or twelve years ago, a momentous crisis of contrasts had been reached. |

| Dot was one of those natures that like to seek, and are liable to take, advice; so, after seeing Henry, she thought she would see what Mr. Trotter had to say; for, in spite of his unfortunate name, Mr. Trotter was a gentle, cultivated mind, and was indeed somewhat incongruously, perhaps in a mild way Jesuitically, circumstanced as a Baptist minister. Henry and he were great friends on literary matters; and Dot and he had had many talks, greatly helpful to her, on spiritual things. |
