| Summary | "Trevethlan: A Cornish Story. Volume 1 (of 3)" by William Davy Watson is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story begins with the dying patriarch Henry Trevethlan, who leaves his son Randolph with a heavy burden: to uphold their family's proud legacy while navigating the difficulties of their declining fortunes. As Randolph and his sister Helen prepare to leave Trevethlan Castle for London in hopes of restoring their family's honor and wealth, themes of pride, familial duty, and social status emerge. At the start of the tale, Henry Trevethlan is on his deathbed, summoning his children to impart his last wishes. In a somber and introspective atmosphere, he warns Randolph against accepting help from their relatives, the Pendarrels, instilling a sense of pride and a curse against poverty in the young heir. Following their father's death, Randolph and Helen resolve to seek their fortunes in London, embarking on a journey that intertwines personal ambition and a quest for restoration amidst familial expectations and societal challenges. Their future appears uncertain as they contemplate leaving the familiarity of their ancestral home, setting the stage for their adventures and trials in the wider world.
