We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
The story of Edie and Andy Hoyt is the story of a man's serious illness and his wife's devotion to him. More than
a year ago, Andy and Edie crashed while flying over South American jungles. After weeks of bare survival, their signals were seen by Pepper Young and a pilot friend of his. The plane was small and Edie, who was ill, was taken out first. When the rescuers returned for Andy, he had disappeared. Eventually, Edie returned to the United States, but she never lost hope, and her faith was rewarded with the report that a man resembling Andy had been picked up by natives. Leaving Edith, her two-year-old daughter, with the Youngs, Edie went back to South America. The man was Andy — but he was in a state of shock and complete amnesia. He seemed to recognize only Edie and would not speak even to her. Any noise frightened him to a state of violence.
Andy is still in this condition. Edie insists that she remain with him, must bring him back to Elmwood — although whether or not her devotion will bring him back to normal is a question no one can answer — for she feels she is his only link with reality. Is it right for her to expose herself — and little Edith — to life with a man whose mind is crippled, whose violence can be dangerous?
Both of the Youngs sympathize with her plight. However, Mother Young — a wife and mother herself — feels that in the same circumstances she would follow the course Edie chooses. Father Young, on the other hand, points out that the practical, realistic thing to do is for Edie to entrust Andy to the expert care of doctors, build a new life for herself and her child.
