Summary "Jacqueline of Golden River" by H. M. Egbert is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the complex and dramatic adventures of the main character, Paul Hewlett, who encounters a mysterious young woman named Jacqueline just as she is thrust into a dangerous situation in New York City. The narrative unfolds with elements of suspense as Paul becomes entangled in Jacqueline's desperate plight involving her pursuers and a treasure that she's unwittingly intertwined with. At the start of the novel, we find Paul Hewlett reflecting on his recent legacy that has provided him freedom from years of tedious clerical work. His encounter with an Eskimo dog leads him to Jacqueline, who is fleeing from unknown assailants after a chaotic scene outside a gambling establishment. She shares her innocent intention to win back fortunes lost in gambling, yet her naivety exposes her to peril. As Paul protects Jacqueline from an attempted kidnapping, their connection deepens, leading to a series of unexpected twists that hint at her mysterious past and an impending threat. The opening establishes a strong foundation of intrigue, making readers eager to explore how Paul will navigate the complexities of Jacqueline’s situation while developing their relationship amidst danger.
