"With the Procession" by Henry Blake Fuller is a story set in a city undergoing rapid change, where the Marshall family grapples with illness, shifting social dynamics, and the return of a son after a long absence. The story kicks off with Mr. David Marshall's sickness, which shakes his family's long-held view of him as an unwavering figure; as the narrative progresses, it turns to the busy city, marking the growing unease between the family's old status and the modern world. Truesdale's homecoming from Europe stirs up family drama and highlights aspirations for relevance in a transforming society, while his sisters and mother react to his new worldliness, pointing to unfolding themes of social mobility and family ties.
