| 520 | _a"Blind mice" by C. Kay-Scott is a novel written in the early 20th century. It appears to be a domestic social drama about an idealistic young architect, John Winter, his practical partner Jim Sprague, and John’s steady wife Lucy, whose household is unsettled by the arrival of Lucy’s self-dramatizing mother, “Nannie” Merwent. Themes of art versus money, marital loyalty, class pretensions, and a young woman’s self-determination run through the story. The opening of the novel follows John and Jim on a rainy suburban commute to Lucy and their little boy Dimmie, where talk of work and money contrasts with John’s artistic ambitions and Lucy’s quiet good sense. The next morning John fetches Lucy’s mother, Nannie, whose flirtatious charm and needy vanity quickly win John’s attention while eroding Lucy’s place at her own table. The narrative then shifts to Nannie’s past—her spoiled Southern upbringing, manipulative marriage to Arthur Merwent, and Lucy’s difficult childhood—culminating in Lucy’s refusal to be maneuvered into a wealthy match and her decision to leave for Chicago to learn bookbinding, supported by her father. It closes on Nannie’s vicious outburst as Lucy departs, clarifying the emotional stakes and the fractures now shaping the Winters’ future. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
