Wives and Daughters Chapter 4 - Mr. Gibson's Neighbors

In which we observe the quiet and uneventful growth of Molly among the genteel inhabiters of Hollingford, where the peculiarities and reserved natures of the landed gentry and their families quietly unfold, alongside the dignified yet simple life of Dr. Gibson and his pupils.
