P. R. (George Payne Rainsford) 1860 James, George Payne Rainsford De L'Orme. The Works of G. P. R. James, Esq., Vol. XVI. Reading ease score: 63.1 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Charles Bowen from page images provided by Google Books (University of California, Davis) "De L'Orme" by G. P. R. James is a historical romance written in the early 19th century. The narrative unfolds the life of Louis, Count de l'Orme, who reminisces about his childhood in the picturesque region of Bearn, France, and reflects on the experiences that shaped his character and destiny. The tale promises themes of adventure, love, and personal growth against a backdrop of historical events and personal trials. The opening of the novel introduces Count Louis de l'Orme as he reflects on his birth and upbringing in the beautiful valley of Bearn. Through his eyes, we see the impact of his idyllic childhood and the influences of his family, particularly his parents—his father, a once-noble figure now faded in stature, and his mother, a paragon of virtue and kindness. As he recalls formative events from his youth, including a near-fatal drowning incident and the service he received from a local boy, the narrative sets the stage for the interplay of duty, familial expectations, and budding romance with Helen Arnault, the daughter of the boy who saved his life. The narrative hints at the complexities of their relationship and foreshadows the challenges they will face together.
