Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Blacksheep! Blacksheep!" by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Archibald Bennett, a somewhat timid and anxious bachelor brother who takes on domestic tasks for his sister, Mrs. Howard Featherstone. As Archie's journey unfolds, he is drawn into a web of unexpected adventure, beginning with a seemingly simple commission to inspect a summer rental house but quickly escalating into encounters with eccentric families and burgeoning tensions. The beginning of the novel establishes Archie's character and his relationships, particularly with his sister and her busy husband. While discussing his upcoming trip to inspect a house, hints of his health issues and a sense of stagnancy in his life emerge. A pivotal moment occurs during a dinner where he meets Isabel Perry, a lively young woman who challenges his timid nature, prompting him to reflect on his own life and issues of self-esteem. This opening not only introduces key characters but also sets the stage for Archie's transformation as he grapples with the prospect of stepping out of his comfort zone and pursuing a more adventurous life.
