| Summary | "The Hartley Brothers: or, The Knights of Saint John" by A. L. O. E. is a fiction work written during the mid-19th century. The book follows the journey of the Hartley brothers, Harold and Robin, as they embark on a missionary voyage to India, reflecting their commitment to faith and service. The narrative intertwines themes of adventure, personal growth, and the struggles of maintaining one’s principles amid various challenges, with particular focus on the dynamic between the brothers and the people they encounter. The opening of the novel sets the stage for the journey ahead, capturing the emotional farewells as the brothers leave their home for India. As they set sail, the narrative introduces their thoughts on their late mother and the hope that their mission will honor her legacy. Alongside them is Miss Petty, a quirky character who adds comedic elements and serves as a foil to the brothers' earnestness. Their experiences on the ship, interactions with fellow passengers, and their growing resolve to live out their ideals of missionary work establish a foundation for their upcoming adventures and trials in a foreign land. Through these initial dialogues and observations, the author hints at the themes of perseverance, faith, and the quest for purpose that will likely unfold throughout the story.
