| Summary | "Miss Cayley's Adventures" by Grant Allen is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the spirited young woman Lois Cayley, who, after the death of her stepfather, embarks on a quest for adventure and self-discovery in London and beyond. With a paltry twopence in her pocket, she rejects conventional paths such as teaching and instead seeks thrilling experiences, which leads her to a series of humorous encounters and escapades. At the start of the narrative, Lois is introduced as a headstrong and independent character who is determined to embrace life on her own terms. After discussing her plans with her friend Elsie, she decides against a teaching career and expresses her desire to seek out adventure. This determination drives her to approach a haughty old lady, known as the "Cantankerous Old Lady," in a park, offering to accompany her on a journey to Schlangenbad. The interplay between their contrasting personalities sets the tone for Lois’ misadventures as she navigates social expectations, personal challenges, and, ultimately, her aspirations for a life filled with excitement and independence.
