Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Dorothy's Double. Volume 3 (of 3)" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Dorothy Hawtrey, who grapples with the repercussions of mistaken identity and a shadowy figure impersonating her, leading to wrongful accusations of theft and a painful disruption in her life. As the narrative unfolds, Dorothy faces both personal challenges and the complexities of societal judgment while exploring themes of friendship, honor, and resilience. The opening portion of the novel depicts a tense moment of survival as characters face a fierce storm in the Alps, leading to a near tragedy on a glacier. Mr. Hawtrey and his party are rescued by Lord Halliburn and his guides after a grueling and life-threatening ordeal. As they recuperate from their ordeal, discussions arise about the lingering shadows surrounding Dorothy’s reputation due to the actions of her double, setting the stage for her internal struggles and the evolving dynamics of her relationships with Captain Armstrong and others. This drama of recovery and revelation hints at deeper themes of love, loyalty, and the quest for truth that will be explored in the subsequent chapters.
