Brigid is a short story by Mary Lavin set in Ireland. It is about a woman (you never learn her name) who has a husband named Owen. She is extremely concerned about her husband's sister, Brigid, messing up her two daughters' chances of marrying. Her sister Brigid is mentally challenged and, in Ireland (at the time this book was written), many people looked down upon the disabled. Owen is angry that the woman keeps bringing up the topic of his sister, and leaves the house to visit Brigid. Many hours pass and Owen still doesn't come home so the woman is worried and sets off to Brigid's house. Once she is there she discovers that her husband had a stroke and fell into the fireplace (while the fire was burning) and died. Brigid didn't do anything to help him because she didn't know how to help him. In the end, the woman ends up bringing Brigid home to take care of her since that's what her husband would have wanted.
