"The Camp Fire Girls in After Years" by Margaret Vandercook explores the lives of the Camp Fire girls as they navigate adulthood, focusing on themes of friendship, duty, and personal growth. The story is set in the Governor's mansion in New Hampshire, where Betty Ashton, now Mrs. Anthony Graham, resides with her husband, the newly elected Governor. The narrative begins with Betty preparing for an Inaugural Ball, a significant event marking her husband's political success. Despite the grandeur of her new life, Betty faces personal challenges, including the illness of her young son, Tony, and the responsibilities of her social position. Angelique Martins, a close friend of Betty's, is portrayed as a shy and introspective character who prefers solitude over social gatherings. Her loyalty to Betty is evident as she chooses to watch over the ailing Tony instead of attending the ball. Meanwhile, Faith Barton, another friend, is depicted as a dreamer, caught up in her own world of aspirations and secretive relationships. The plot thickens with the arrival of John Everett, an old friend facing financial ruin. His sister, Meg, appeals to Betty for help, hoping that the Governor can offer John a position to alleviate their family's troubles. Betty, torn between her personal loyalties and the ethical implications of political favoritism, contemplates how to assist without overstepping her boundaries. The story delves into the complexities of adult friendships, the weight of past connections, and the moral dilemmas faced by those in positions of power. Vandercook weaves a narrative that highlights the enduring bonds formed in youth and the challenges of maintaining them amidst life's changes.
