"That Scholarship Boy" by Emma Leslie is a novel likely authored in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the themes of social class, bullying, and the experiences of a scholarship boy named Horace Howard at the exclusive Torrington's school. The story focuses on the tensions between Horace and his classmates, particularly highlighting the struggles he faces as a poor boy trying to fit in with wealthier students. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Leonard Morrison and his sister Duffy, who discuss the arrival of Horace at their school. Leonard, buoyed by peer pressure, is embroiled in sending Horace to Coventry—a form of silent treatment designed to ostracize him due to his background as a scholarship boy from a board school. This opening portion sets the stage for the conflicts that arise from social stratification, as Leonard grapples with the expectations of his peers while his sister expresses sympathy for Horace's situation, foreshadowing the moral dilemmas that will unfold throughout the story. As Leonard and other boys navigate their exclusionary tactics, Horace is determined to maintain his dignity and succeed academically amidst the tension. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
