Summary: "The Red Cross Girl" by Richard Harding Davis is a fictional narrative that appears to have been written during the late 19th century. The story introduces readers to various characters, including Sam Ward, a star newspaper reporter, and Sister Anne, a beautiful and compassionate Red Cross nurse. The narrative will likely explore themes of heroism, the contrast between wealth and service, as well as romance, set against the backdrop of societal expectations and personal aspirations. The opening of "The Red Cross Girl" vividly sets the stage with Sam Ward attending a ceremony for the laying of a cornerstone at a convalescent home. Despite the picturesque setting, he is rather dismissive about its significance, expressing cynicism. His attention is diverted when he meets Sister Anne, a stunningly lovely young nurse dedicated to the patients. Their interaction reveals Sam's admiration for her commitment and beauty, and as they converse, Sam's irritation with the sick folk comes to the fore. Sister Anne's gentle but firm demeanor counteracts his cynical views and draws him in. Their connection hints at a deeper story of mutual admiration and potential romance, while also contrasting the superficiality of wealth represented by the home and the genuine service rendered by the nurses. The opening establishes an engaging premise filled with character dynamics and social commentary. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
