| Summary | "De lelie van 's-Gravenhage" by Jacobus Jan Cremer is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. This story is set against a historical backdrop and opens with a mysterious and ominous journey taking place during a stormy November night in 1595. The narrative introduces key characters, including a woman and a coachman named Casper, as they navigate dark, perilous roads, hinting at themes of adventure and suspense that entwine personal struggles with larger societal issues. The opening of the novel sets the tone with vivid descriptions of the harsh weather and the desolate countryside as the characters travel from Leiden to The Hague. The coach, carrying a mysterious cargo, is directed by the woman, who possesses knowledge of their surroundings that Casper lacks, creating tension as they struggle against the elements. The scene is charged with anticipation, particularly with the soft whimpering of a child in the carriage, which is subtly linked to their secretive mission. As they approach their destination, the narrative foreshadows compelling future encounters and revelations that will unfold as the historical context of the story deepens.
