Catherine Carmichael or Three Years Running 4⭐️
Taking place in New Zealand, Cat's mother and father had passed away. Her father was close friends with Peter Carmichael. John, Peter's young kinsman, and Catherine had developed a close-almost-more-than-friends relationship when Peter makes plans to marry Cat (but in name only, he only wants a caretaker for his place). Cat hates him but feels she has no choice.

The Lady of Launay 3 star
The negative side of reading so many short stories within a short time period: This story is very similar to two in the first short story collection. The mother tries to set her adopted daughter up with another man instead of the one the daughter loves (and the man loves her back.) Granted, times were different when people cared a great deal what other people would think. 🙄

Christmas at Kirby Cottage 4 stars
I read this one back in December so not rereading it now. It was usual Trollope style where you're not sure how things are going to end up. I reviewed it in December so you can check that out if interested

Mrs Brumby 3.5⭐️
Mrs Brumby submitted a manuscript that she wanted published. The editors didn't think it was worthy of printing but didn't want to tell Mrs Brumby. She gets rather....upset.. shall we say. Lol
