| Summary |
"Capitola the Madcap" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. This story follows the adventurous and spirited protagonist, Capitola Black, as she navigates various challenges and indignities in a world rife with conflict and mystery, particularly surrounding her acquaintance with Clara Day, the ward of the imposing Colonel Le Noir. The opening of the novel introduces us to a scene filled with tension and potential conflict. Traverse Rocke is delivering the last wishes of Clara's deceased father to Colonel Le Noir, who insists on taking Clara away to the Hidden House against her will. When Clara expresses her desire to remain in her home, Traverse stands up against Colonel Le Noir's contempt, revealing the underlying animosity. As the tensions rise and the stakes become evident, Clara's predicament as a ward under Colonel Le Noir sets the stage for the unfolding drama that Capitola will soon become embroiled in. The backdrop of family tension and a looming storm hints at the adventure and peril that lie ahead for Capitola and her new acquaintance, Clara. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
