E-text prepared by Emmy, D Alexander, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Boy Knight" by Martin J. Scott is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Frank Mulvy, who is a member of a boys' club and serves as its secretary. As Frank navigates the challenges of adolescence, he encounters complex themes of honor, friendship, and moral struggle, primarily through his interactions with his peers, especially a bully named Bill Daly, and their kind-hearted priest, Father Boone. The opening of the book introduces Frank Mulvy as he walks with his friends to school in late November, where they encounter a beggar asking for food. Frank's act of kindness toward the old man sets the tone for his character, showcasing themes of compassion and morality. As he becomes involved in the boys' club, we see Frank's leadership qualities emerge alongside the tension between him and Bill, who struggles with issues of conduct and acceptance. The initial conflict culminates in a confrontation that shapes the social dynamics of the group. Father Boone’s guiding influence and the moral dilemmas faced by the boys lay the groundwork for deeper explorations of their character development as the story progresses.
