Summary "The White Horses" by Halliwell Sutcliffe is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds during the English Civil War, focusing on the life of Squire John Metcalf and his family, particularly his son Christopher. The narrative captures the struggles between enthusiasm for adventure against the backdrop of love and loyalty, as characters navigate the pressing demands of war and personal relationships. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Squire Metcalf, who contemplates the impending civil strife while observing his son Christopher's romantic interest in Joan Grant. The chapter sets the stage for a conflict as news arrives of the King's call for loyal men to rally against the Parliamentarians, creating a tension between the duties of war and family loyalties. Christopher expresses a longing for adventure, and as the King's messenger arrives, the narrative hints at an imminent call to arms that could alter the lives of the Metcalfs and their community. The opening thus deftly blends themes of youthful aspiration, familial duty, and the harsh realities of a country in turmoil. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
