"Terry" by Charles Goff Thomson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character of Terry, a young man who has recently returned to his small New England town after studying at Princeton. In the opening chapters, Terry is depicted as a somewhat restless and idealistic individual struggling to find his place in a community that holds rigid values. The narrative delves into his personal conflicts, particularly concerning his relationships with his family and his love interest, Deane, as well as the societal expectations weighing on him. The beginning of "Terry" introduces us to the protagonist's hunting expedition, where he successfully captures a fox, an act that subsequently draws scorn from the conservative townsfolk during a church service. This event highlights the divide between Terry's free spirit and the strict moral code of his community. As he returns home, the reader is introduced to his complexities, including his longing for deeper meaning beyond the confines of Crampville, and the impact of his decisions on his relationships with his sister Susan and the townspeople. Additionally, the opening sets the stage for impending changes in Terry's life as he grapples with his feelings for Deane and considers an opportunity that could take him far from his familiar surroundings.
