Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Master and Maid" by Mrs. L. Allen Harker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Tony Bevan, a housemaster at Hamchester College, and his unexpected guest, Lallie Clonmell, who arrives to stay while her father goes big-game shooting in India. The narrative explores themes of youthful exuberance, responsibility, and the subtle dynamics of relationships within the school environment. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Tony Bevan and his prefects enjoying dinner when Lallie arrives unexpectedly, radiating charm and charisma despite her exhaustion from travel. Tony's initial surprise and worry about her unanticipated visit unfold as he realizes Lallie is not only close to him due to their shared past but is also spirited and independent. As the evening progresses, readers witness Lallie's seamless integration into the setting, her interactions with Tony and the other boys, and her strong personality that contrasts with Tony's more serious demeanor. The opening captures the essence of a lively school life and sets the stage for the complexities that will arise between the characters.
