| Summary |
"Good for Evil; or, Rose Cottage" by Madeline Leslie is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around two young men, Edward Wallingford and Paul Dudley, who are law students soon to graduate, and their evolving relationships amidst their personal aspirations and the responsibilities of adulthood. The story explores themes of friendship, familial bonds, and the challenges of love and marriage. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Wallingford and Dudley as they contemplate their future after law school while reflecting on their pasts, particularly their families. Wallingford, who has been caring for his younger sister Gertrude after losing their mother, expresses concerns about her upbringing and lack of education. As the two friends prepare to part ways after graduation, they plan a visit to Wallingford's home, Rose Cottage, where tensions arise regarding Gertrude's future and her growing relationship with Dudley, who is somewhat self-centered and ambitious. The opening sets the stage for a complicated love story that unfolds with themes of personal growth, the quest for approval, and potential pitfalls in young love.
