Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Marjorie" by Justin H. McCarthy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a quaint coastal town in Sussex and follows the life of the protagonist, Raphael Crowninshield, who yearns for adventure and the sea. Central to the narrative is his friendship with Lancelot Amber and his infatuation with Barbara, which leads to emotional turmoil and growth. The opening of "Marjorie" introduces Raphael, who reflects on his childhood in Sendennis, where he grapples with the tensions between his desire for a seafaring life and the expectations of his mercer parents. As he comes of age, we witness the blossoming friendship with Lancelot, a boy of gentler birth. Their bond deepens through shared lessons, while Raphael's fascination with the sea leads him to the local inn, the Skull and Spectacles, where he meets Barbara, a captivating girl who stirs his emotions. The first chapter sets the stage for a tale of love, friendship, and the quest for a life beyond the confines of a modest upbringing.
