Summary "Turquoise and Ruby" by L. T. Meade is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the lives of schoolgirls at Hazlitt Chase, particularly focusing on Honora Beverley, who refuses to take the coveted role of Helen of Troy in a school tableau, arguing against the character's moral standing. The novel explores themes of integrity, peer pressure, and coming-of-age challenges within the structured environment of a girls' school. The beginning of the book sets up a conflict between Honora and her classmates as they prepare for the school's annual events. Despite her beauty and popularity, Honora's strong convictions lead her to decline the part of Helen of Troy, causing distress among the other girls, who view the role as a prestigious opportunity. As they scramble to find a replacement, the narrative hints at the complexities of friendship, ambition, and the various motivations behind the girls' decisions, particularly through the character of Penelope Carlton, who ultimately sees this as a chance for personal gain as she navigates her way through the social politics of the school.
