| Summary | "Neighbours on the Green" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. It revolves around the interconnected lives of the residents of Dinglefield Green, touching on themes of social dynamics, romance, and the complexities of relationships. The story begins by introducing two sisters, Nelly and Martha, and their widow neighbor, Mrs. Mulgrave, who is particularly fond of Nelly, hinting at the coming romantic entanglements that will unfold in their lives. At the start of the novel, we learn about the idyllic setting of Dinglefield Green, where the narrator describes her quaint cottage and her fondness for her young neighbors, particularly Nelly, who is vibrant and carefree. Martha, while also likable, lacks Nelly's charm and confidence, creating an implicit contrast between the two sisters. The stage is set for potential romantic complications with the arrival of Captain Llewellyn, who is cousin to Sir Thomas Denzil, the local gentry. His presence incites curiosity and hope, especially in Nelly, while Mrs. Mulgrave quietly observes the unfolding emotions, sensing that loyalties may soon be tested. The opening chapters thus set up a network of relationships and emotional undercurrents that promise to complicate the seemingly peaceful lives of the villagers.
