Synopsis

Red-Headed Gill is a novel written by Rye Owen and published in 1903. The story revolves around the life of a young girl named Gillian, who is known for her striking red hair. Gillian is a spirited and independent young woman who lives in a small village in England with her father, a wealthy landowner.Despite her privileged upbringing, Gillian is not content with her life and longs for adventure and excitement. She is fascinated by the stories of pirates and smugglers that she hears from the villagers and dreams of setting sail on the high seas.When her father refuses to let her pursue her dreams, Gillian decides to take matters into her own hands. She runs away from home and joins a group of smugglers, who are led by a charismatic and mysterious man named Black Jack.As Gillian becomes more deeply involved in the world of smuggling, she begins to realize that it is not the romantic adventure she had imagined. She is forced to confront the harsh realities of life on the margins of society, and she soon finds herself in grave danger.Red-Headed Gill is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of independence, courage, and the consequences of following one's dreams. It is a classic tale of a young woman's journey to find her place in the world, and the challenges she must overcome to achieve her goals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Red-H eaded Gill GHAPTER I MR. TREHANNA, I want to introduce you to Lady Branscombel Lady Branscombe, here is a fellow countryman of ours, who has been through all the war in the Soudan, and I dont know where besides. A hl Graf Eanski; how do you do? and the hostess of the evening turned away, and left the two people thus presented to improve each others acquaintance. It was a crowded reception night at the British Embassy, for his Excellency, H.M. s Ambassador to the Court of Vienna, was very popular, and his salon attractive. The lights were brilliant, and reflected in every comer by bejeweled Hungarians. AU vely waltz was going on in an adjoining room, and the soimds formed a musical background to the fercible Wiener Deutsch echoing on all sides. Lady Branscombe, in diaphanous and effective black, created a charming contrast to the many-colored crowd.
