Summary "The Tracy Diamonds" by Mary Jane Holmes is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the lives of various characters, with emphasis on Zacheus Taylor and his wife Dorothy, who operate the Prospect House in Ridgefield. As they prepare for the arrival of distinguished guests, the story unfolds a rich tapestry of personal ambitions, social dynamics, and historical references, hinting at a blend of drama and romance. At the start of "The Tracy Diamonds," the setting is established on a sweltering July morning at the Prospect House, where Uncle Zacheus and Dorothy are busy preparing for the guests while dealing with a humorous chaos of cleaning and organizing. The characters are introduced, notably the curious and somewhat comical Uncle Zach, who navigates the challenges of running the establishment and his wife Dot’s ambitious plans to attract New York visitors. Conversations hint at a deeper story involving expectations and a haunted house, while the impending arrival of Mrs. Freeman Tracy and her daughter sets the stage for the dynamics to play out, mixing elements of intrigue and societal commentary as the plot unfolds.
