Summary: "Trumps" by George William Curtis is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative centers around the life of Mr. Savory Gray, a once-prosperous merchant who, after losing everything in a sudden financial calamity, decides to open a school for boys. As he navigates this new venture, the lives of his students intersect with that of Hope Wayne, a young woman raised in seclusion, which sets the groundwork for various emerging relationships and struggles within the community. The opening of "Trumps" introduces Mr. Savory Gray, who, after a devastating business failure, transforms his life by establishing a school in the village of Delafield. The narrative humorously details his transition from merchant to educator, while simultaneously setting the stage for the conflicts between his students, especially the budding dynamic between the spirited Hope Wayne and her male peers. As boys engage in mischief and rivalry, tensions rise, particularly involving a quarrel that leads to a significant fallout. The excerpt establishes a vibrant backdrop that hints at themes of social status, youthful enthusiasm, and the complexities of growing up, positioning it as an engaging exploration of personal growth and societal interactions.
