Moral debates on fiction and a tale of a father's change
A Deacon Prescott opposes fiction while his daughter Mary marries against his will. A visiting narrator argues fiction can reveal truth and moral principles. A brief illustrative story within the tale leads the Deacon to reflect, ending with reconciliation and a softened stance on novels and the family.
