"The Girl's Own Paper, Vol. XX, No. 985, November 12, 1898" by Various is a historical publication featuring tales, articles, and motivational pieces aimed at young women, written during the late 19th century. The opening chapter presents a narrative titled "Our Hero," set against the backdrop of the Franco-English War, showcasing the challenges faced by English travelers caught in the turmoil of conflict. The story unfolds around characters such as Colonel Baron, his wife, and young Roy, as they navigate the complexities of their circumstances as prisoners of war due to Napoleon's decree. At the start of the tale, the emotional landscape is set against the abrupt arrest of English subjects in France, detailing the anxiety and uncertainty that ensues. Colonel Baron and others are declared prisoners under the conditions of parole, while his son Roy, who is recovering from illness, grapples with the desire to return home. The narrative captures the poignant dynamics between the characters, highlighting themes of loyalty, family ties, and the impact of war on personal lives. The effectiveness of the prose draws readers into the characters’ fears and hopes, making the beginning an engaging entry into a broader historical context and human experience.
