The Yates Pride is a novel written by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman. The story revolves around the Yates family, who live in a small New England town. The family is headed by the widowed Mrs. Yates, who is a proud and domineering woman. She has three children - two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Robert, is a successful businessman who lives in New York City. The younger son, Edward, is a struggling artist who lives at home with his mother. The daughter, Gertrude, is a beautiful and intelligent young woman who is the pride of her mother.Gertrude is courted by a wealthy young man named Mr. Phillips, who is smitten with her. However, Mrs. Yates disapproves of the match, as she believes that Gertrude is too good for him. She wants her daughter to marry someone of higher social standing. Gertrude, however, is in love with Mr. Phillips and wants to marry him.The novel explores the themes of pride, class, and love. It shows how Mrs. Yates' pride and desire for social status affects the lives of her children. It also shows how love can overcome social barriers and how true happiness can be found in simple things.Overall, The Yates Pride is a classic novel that portrays the complexities of family relationships and the struggles of individuals to find their place in society.Right upon the announcement came proof. The beautiful door of the old colonial mansion opposite was thrown open, and clumsy and cautious motion was evident. Presently a tall, slender woman came down the path between the box borders, pushing a baby-carriage. It was undoubtedly a very old carriage. It must have dated back to the fifties, if not the forties. It was made of wood, with a leather buggy-top, and was evidently very heavy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
