'The Doctor’s Family' (1861) by Scottish author Margaret Oliphant is a beautifully observed Victorian novella, set in the fictional English town of Carlingford, a little out from London. In Chapter Ten, in the stillness of early morning, Nettie brings a tragic burden back to the cottage and quietly takes charge before the household is fully awake. With calm resolve, she shields the family - especially her unsuspecting sister - from the truth for as long as she can, managing every harrowing practical detail alone. At last, she sends for the one person who can truly help her and prepares to face the hardest duty of all... This chapter is a powerful portrait of family responsibility, restraint, and quiet courage in the face of grief... Find the full Playlist for "The Doctor's Family".
