Summary “Dorothy's Double. Volume 1 (of 3)” by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with a dark and rainy night on the Thames, where a man awaits the arrival of a woman named Polly. The narrative unfolds around themes of deception and crime, introducing elements of intrigue as the characters navigate their morally ambiguous world. At the start of the narrative, a man named Warbles waits anxiously for Polly, who arrives with a cloak and shawl, hinting that they are involved in a clandestine operation. Their conversation reveals that Polly has successfully committed a theft, and speculation arises about what they plan to do next, suggesting a deeper entanglement in illicit activities. The chapter introduces Sally, a girl living in a slum with a harsh caregiver, Mrs. Phillips, unveiling her challenging circumstances while presenting Warbles as a potential benefactor who plans to change her life through education, albeit under dubious pretenses. Throughout this opening portion, the author sets the stage for the unfolding drama, blending elements of crime with the social issues of the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
