Summary "Capitola's Peril" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a sequel to "The Hidden Hand," continuing the adventures and trials of the spirited protagonist, Capitola Black. The story centers around Capitola as she navigates challenges following the death of a family friend, best friend Clara Day's father, and the looming threat posed by Clara's guardian, Colonel Le Noir, who seeks to control Clara and her inheritance. At the start of the novel, the tense atmosphere is established through an encounter between Traverse Rocke and Colonel Le Noir regarding the execution of Clara's father's will. Colonel Le Noir's intention to remove Clara from her home sets the stage for conflict, drawing in various characters who either support or oppose his plans. Traverse Rocke's defensiveness over family honor and the love he shares with Clara create an underlying current of romantic tension. The opening ultimately presents a rich setup for the intertwined fates of its characters, particularly as concerns for Clara's safety and autonomy rise, drawing Capitola into the fray as she seeks the hidden truth and potential dangers at the Hidden House.
