Summary "Mr. Wycherly's Wards" by L. Allen Harker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mr. Wycherly, who takes guardianship of two boys, Edmund and Montagu, after the death of their aunt, Miss Esperance. The novel explores the challenges and humorous situations that arise as Mr. Wycherly relocates to Oxford and attempts to manage life with his wards, while grappling with the expectations of society and their new living conditions. The opening of the novel introduces Mr. Wycherly's sudden decision to move to Oxford, driven by a desire to create a comforting environment for the boys after their aunt's passing. As he settles into a quirky old house, the chaos of their new living situation becomes apparent when he realizes that they lack a capable servant. The boys, each with distinct personalities, are depicted as lively companions who readily adapt to their new home, and they playfully interact with their guardian as they adjust to their new lives. This initial chapter sets the stage for a mix of humor and heartfelt moments as the family dynamics unfold in their new environment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
