Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Patsy" by H. de Vere Stacpoole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a picturesque Irish setting and revolves around the experiences of a young boy named Patsy Rooney. As he navigates his life, the narrative explores themes of love, adventure, and the clash between the innocence of youth and the complexities of adult desires. The opening of the novel introduces Richard Fanshawe, a young man staying with friends for hunting who receives a letter from an old acquaintance inviting him to a house party. This letter brings to light the complexities of his emotions, particularly his feelings for Violet Lestrange. As the narrative shifts to mention Patsy, the son of the local gamekeeper, we see his life intertwined with the impending arrival of the upper class to Glen Druid Park, where he is eager to serve in the household. The introduction sets up a contrast between Patsy's humble beginnings and the lives of the more privileged characters, hinting at future adventures and interactions that will shape the plot.
