One might see Bert McCarthy, an old bachelor, limping along the sidewalk, wearing a straw hat and breeches. You may wonder about his life, and the events that led him to this present. What fortified him through the past? Why did he never marry? And what kept him on the farm all these years? You might be surprised at the stories he could tell. You might even learn something about loving, if you paid attention. This sentimental look at Bert McCarthy's life provides an explanation for his life's choices.    The Estate of Mrs. Pearl Whiteman takes us from 1920s Canada--from Bert McCarthy's childhood and his growing love for Pearl Varsey--to the years that followed and the regrets that ensued. It is a story about families and commitment and the socio-economic stresses that divided people--in friendship and in love.
