Résumé
"Mrs. Tree's Will" by Laura E. Richards is a narrative centered around the transfer of the titular character's will on the small village of Elmerton. The story begins with the reading of Mrs. Tree's will, which reveals her desire for the village to revert to its original name, Quahaug, as a condition for receiving her substantial bequests. This stipulation causes a stir among the villagers, leading to a division of opinions. The narrative unfolds through the perspectives of various characters, including Mr. Homer Hollopeter, the gentle and somewhat bumbling postmaster, and the village elders who gather to reminisce about Mrs. Tree's sharp wit and generous spirit. The women of the village, particularly those in the Ladies' Society, also express their views, with some opposing the name change and others advocating for it as a tribute to Mrs. Tree's memory. The story captures the essence of small-town life, highlighting themes of community, tradition, and the influence of a strong-willed individual. Ultimately, the village decides to honor Mrs. Tree's wishes, reflecting the deep respect and affection she commanded during her lifetime. The narrative is rich with humor and warmth, showcasing Richards' ability to create vivid characters and a compelling portrayal of village dynamics.
