Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Tom, Dick and Harry" by Talbot Baines Reed is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows young Master Jones, affectionately nicknamed "Sarah" by his peers at Dangerfield College, as he navigates the ups and downs of school life, friendships, and mishaps. The story captures the amusing and often chaotic experiences of schoolboys, including a dramatic incident involving a shot dog, and delves into themes of loyalty, bravery, and the complexities of childhood relationships. The opening of the novel introduces us to Master Jones as he experiences terror after hearing a shot in the night. Mistakenly convinced that a fellow student named Tempest has gone missing due to sleepwalking, Jones is consumed with fear. This suspenseful start sets the stage for lighthearted intrigue within the school's atmosphere, where boys are grappling with pranks, misunderstandings, and the authority of their headmaster, Dr. Plummer. The narrative hints at the comedic twists and social dynamics of their world, establishing a lively environment that promises both humor and adventure as the characters navigate the aftermath of the night's chaos.
