Summary "Dimbie and I—and Amelia" by Mabel Barnes-Grundy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of Marguerite Westover as she navigates her recent marriage to Dimbie, exploring her feelings of happiness and fulfillment while also dealing with the comical complications of daily life, including her eccentric household help, Amelia. The novel appears to blend humor with domestic themes, focusing on Marguerite's relationships and her domestic adventures. The opening of the novel introduces Marguerite basking in the spring sunshine, filled with anticipation for her husband Dimbie's return after an absence due to family matters. As she reflects on her deep affection for him and her contrasting feelings towards her father, Peter, the reader gets a glimpse into her lively and humorous character. Furthermore, Marguerite reveals her playful spirit through anecdotes about Dimbie and her domestic life, including her interactions with Amelia, the servant whose unique approaches sometimes sow chaos. The stage is set for a lighthearted but insightful exploration of marriage and domesticity in early 20th-century England, with hints of the challenges and joys that await them.
