| Summary | "The Red Derelict" by Bertram Mitford is a novel written in the early 20th century. This intriguing narrative begins with Wagram Gerard Wagram, who experiences a moment of tranquil joy in a beautiful English countryside setting, when suddenly, his idyllic afternoon turns into chaos as he encounters a rogue brindled gnu threatening a young woman. As he rushes to her aid, the story hints at themes of bravery and unexpected connections, suggesting a blend of adventure and romance. The opening of this novel establishes Wagram as a man seeking solace in nature after a troubled past. As he wanders through his idyllic surroundings, he is suddenly drawn into a dramatic situation involving a gnu chasing a girl on a bicycle. Wagram's frantic attempt to save her culminates in a tense struggle, showcasing his courage and quick thinking. Just as he faces imminent danger, the girl surprises him by using his own rifle to shoot the beast, saving them both. This encounter marks the beginning of a complex relationship between Wagram and Delia Calmour, the girl he rescues, setting the stage for further developments as they navigate their vastly different social backgrounds and the implications of their unwitting meeting.
