Summary: "The Highwayman" by H. C. Bailey is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of Harry Boyce, a young man with a sharp wit and a keen sense of humor, navigating a world filled with societal expectations and political intrigue. He serves as a tutor to Geoffrey Waverton, but his encounters with characters such as the aggressive highwaymen and the feisty Miss Lambourne hint at deeper themes of honor, ambition, and identity amidst a backdrop of adventure and romance. At the start of this narrative, Harry Boyce is introduced while he walks along a muddy road, reflecting on his lack of admiration for Queen Anne. His cynical demeanor sets the tone as he stumbles upon a mishap involving a stuck coach and two highwaymen. A confrontation ensues, during which Harry displays unexpected bravery, subduing one of the criminals and bringing chaos to the highwaymen's plans. The scene is further complicated by the arrival of a woman from the coach, Miss Lambourne, who recognizes Harry's heroism. Here, the interplay between different social classes and the blossoming tensions of personal relationships begin to take shape, setting the stage for Harry's development amid the whims and ambitions of those around him.
