| Summary | "Two Strangers" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the Wradisley family—a mother, her two sons, and their interactions with a young widow, Mrs. Nugent, who has recently become part of their community. The story hints at themes of familial relationships, societal expectations, and the dynamics of friendship and love, particularly as the family navigates their feelings toward the enigmatic widow. The opening of the novel introduces us to the Wradisley household, particularly focusing on the interactions between the mother, Mrs. Wradisley, and her children, Ralph and Lucy, as they discuss the newcomer in their lives, Mrs. Nugent. Lucy is described as affectionate and enthusiastic about her friendship with Mrs. Nugent, who is portrayed as charming and delightful. The scene sets a picturesque backdrop that captures the essence of rural life while laying the groundwork for developing relationships and potential romantic entanglements. As Ralph and Bertram—his friend—converse, they reveal their differing perceptions of society and women, foreshadowing the complexities that may arise as the story unfolds.
