Summary | "Hemming, the Adventurer" by Theodore Goodridge Roberts is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Captain Herbert Hemming, an officer who resigns from his commission in the army due to financial troubles stemming from his attempts to aid a reckless subaltern named Penthouse. The book dives into themes of adventure, personal integrity, and the complexities of relationships, particularly highlighting Hemming's struggles with both his financial situation and his love life. At the start of the narrative, we see Captain Hemming contemplating his resignation from the army as he grapples with the financial burden caused by his misguided generosity. The opening chapters introduce key characters, including his superior officer, the colonel, who expresses concern over Hemming's decision, and Penthouse, the subaltern whose poor choices lead to significant personal loss for Hemming. As Hemming navigates his new path as a writer and adventurer, he faces challenges both in his career and in his romantic life with Miss Molly Travers, who becomes a focal point of his emotions. The scene sets up a rich tapestry of adventure, heartache, and the search for personal redemption that is likely to resonate with readers drawn to character-driven narratives.
