Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Fernley House" by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Margaret Montfort, her Uncle John, and their idyllic life at Fernley House. As the narrative unfolds, we discover their relationships, especially Margaret's anticipation of the arrival of her cousin, Peggy, and the dynamics stirred by unexpected guests. At the start of the book, the atmosphere of Fernley House is set during a quiet summer afternoon after the departure of Margaret's younger cousins. Margaret expresses a blend of nostalgia and duty as she engages in her daily life, focusing on household tasks and caring for the puppies her uncle brought home. The opening scenes establish both Margaret's caring nature and her underlying sense of longing for connection, which is amplified by her excitement for her cousin Peggy's imminent arrival. The narrative hints at deeper themes of family, growth, and the joyful reunions that will soon unfold, potentially kindling romance and friendship.
