Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "Halcyone" by Elinor Glyn is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to Halcyone, a curious and imaginative young girl living in a decaying estate with her aunts. The narrative unfolds her adventures as she befriends an old scholar named Mr. Carlyon, who becomes her mentor in Greek literature and helps her explore her thoughts, dreams, and the world around her. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Halcyone's vibrant imagination and her longing for connection beyond her sheltered existence. The story begins with Halcyone discovering smoke coming from the cottage once belonging to the estate's steward. Intrigued and somewhat resentful of this intruder, she confronts Mr. Carlyon, the old man inside. Their meeting sparks a delightful exchange that reveals Halcyone's adventurous spirit, her yearning to explore, and her intellectual curiosity. As they share tea and conversation, Halcyone expresses her hopes of learning Greek and exploring themes from mythology, framing a narrative rich with themes of discovery, learnings, and childhood wonder.
