Nora is in love with Dr. Robert
Sargent, and he with her. But between them and the happiness of marriage stands Dr. Sargent's troubled daughter
Should you marry
against your child's wishes ?
Dr. Robert Sargent is a comparatively new member of the staff of Page Memorial Hospital. Because of her interest in his field — psychiatry — Nora Drake was assigned to assist him. Not long afterward they fell in love, and felt that they could make as successful a marriage partnership as they do a working team at the hospital.
However, Dr. Sargent has a daughter Grace, fourteen, high-strung and impressionable. Her mother, Dr. Sargent's divorced wife, is vindictive, resents the fact that Dr. Sargent's affections have been turned elsewhere. She has conducted an effective campaign to poison Grace's mind against her father and against Nora on the grounds that Nora has robbed the young girl of the love of her father.
Because he is a psychiatrist, the doctor recognizes the extreme emotional danger to his daughter were he to marry Nora. On the other hand, he is very much in love, wants to marry.
What do you think — in this case and in any case where a child objects to
the remarriage of one of its parents — is the right course of action? Is it unwise, unkind to remarry? Or do you think that the adult should take his or her happiness while that happiness is there fftr the taking, trusting that time will heal the breach with the child? What is your solution to this unfortunate situation?
