Summary "Jack Harkaway in New York; or, The Adventures of the Travelers' Club" by Bracebridge Hemyng is a serialized adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers on the escapades of Jack Harkaway, a young English gentleman, as he navigates life in New York City, entangled with various characters, including his rival Lord Maltravers, and accompanied by his loyal servant, Monday. The narrative appears filled with excitement, duels, and social intrigues, appealing to readers who enjoy lively adventure stories. The opening of the novel introduces Jack Harkaway in a light-hearted encounter with his servant, Monday, who suggests that Jack has been idly lounging long enough. Jack receives a letter from Lena Van Hoosen, a beautiful young lady he admires, urging him to meet her urgently. Their meeting reveals that Lena's suitor, Lord Maltravers, has made unwelcome advances towards her, and she warns Jack of Maltravers' aggressive intentions. The subsequent setting shifts to the special meeting of the Travelers' Club, where humorous debates ensue over the habitation of the buffalo. The mix of humorous banter and foreshadowing of conflict between Jack and Maltravers sets the stage for an engaging and adventurous plot that delights in social commentary and daredevil exploits.
