John Gray's Run of Misfortune and a Wife's Plan
John Gray and his wife face a string of farm setbacks from broken implements to a runaway horse and crippling injury. After years of debt and despair, Martha Gray proposes a dairy enterprise on the farm, borrowing money to stock and renovate. The plan shifts toil into steadier income, enabling schooling for the children and gradual recovery from hardship. John, while still given to grumbling, begins to see a hopeful path as the family adapts and grows.
