| Summary |
"Probable Sons" by Amy Le Feuvre is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Sir Edward Wentworth, a confirmed bachelor, who unexpectedly becomes the guardian of his orphaned niece, Milly, after the passing of his sister. The introduction sets the stage for Sir Edward’s struggles with fatherhood and the unexpected joy and turmoil that Milly brings into his otherwise solitary life. The opening of the novel depicts Sir Edward's discomfort upon receiving the news of his niece’s arrival. Initially, he views children, especially a girl, as bothersome and unwelcome in his life. However, when Milly appears, with her innocent curiosity and affectionate nature, she begins to challenge his hard exterior, leading to amusing and touching moments. Sir Edward's reluctance and Milly's innocent charm create a dynamic that hints at deeper themes of love, responsibility, and redemption. The narrative foreshadows Milly’s role in reawakening Sir Edward’s long-buried emotions and the potential for growth in both their characters as the story unfolds.
