"Harold's Bride: A Tale" by A. L. O. E. is a narrative from the early 1900s centering on Harold Hartley, a youthful preacher, and his wife, Alicia, as they tackle existence and difficulties at a missionary station based in India. This story examines ideas of responsibility, give up, and the cultural difficulties confronted by Westerners, specifically from Alicia's view, while adapting into her new position in the mission community. The beginning introduces us to the scene and characters, with Harold's sibling, Robin Hartley, building a house for Harold and Alicia's arrival. The story catches Robin's disappointment with the building's progress and his contemplations on his sibling's marriage. As events develop, we find out about Harold's commitment to the mission, love for Alicia, and her sensitive nature, and the likely difficulties in adjusting to life in a remote Indian town. The story aims to form a vivid picture of their lives as preachers, digging into Alicia's internal battles and starting her direction for development in this far-off land.
