Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Molly Bawn" by Duchess is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the charming and lively protagonist, Molly Massereene, as she navigates her interactions with her family and an unexpected visitor, Tedcastle George Luttrell, a young hussar. Through her playful and flirtatious personality, the narrative unfolds themes of romance, familial bonds, and the contrast between rural life and courtship. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the Massereene family, comprised of Molly, her brother John, and sister-in-law Letitia. As they discuss the imminent arrival of Tedcastle Luttrell, Molly's excitement bubbles over with playful curiosity and ambition for courtship, especially in a pastoral setting that feels dull and uneventful. Their interactions set the tone for Molly's spirited character, full of youthful exuberance. The plot begins to develop further as Molly and Luttrell's meeting is anticipated, and initial dynamics of attraction and humor are established, creating an engaging foundation for their relationship and the unfolding drama that will ensue.
