Glen Notes and Dew of Morning Summary

"Rilla of Ingleside" is the story of Rilla Blythe, the youngest daughter in a large family, and her coming of age in Canada during the first World War. The book begins at Ingleside, her family's home, where Susan, the family housemaid and cook, gossips with Mrs. Blythe, Miss Cornelia (the tutor), and other family members about the family itself. The family pets are also introduced here, particularly one known as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and a dog called Dog Monday. The group discusses the eldest son, Jem, who is courting a neighborhood girl called Faith Meredith, and Walter, who has been recovering from typhoid. During this section, the characters also read the newspaper and, amidst their local gossip, discover that the Archduke of Austria has been assassinated.
