(Arthur Thomas) Quiller-Couch, Arthur Thomas Hocken and Hunken A Tale of Troy E-text prepared by Lionel Sear "Hocken and Hunken" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers around Captain Caius Hocken, who returns to his hometown of Troy after a long career at sea. As he settles back into life on land, he navigates the dynamics of friendship and the changes in the small coastal town, reflecting on his past and contemplating a future with his friend Tobias Hunken. The opening of the book introduces Captain Cai as he arrives back in Troy on his vessel, the Hannah Hoo. He expresses a mix of relief and nostalgia upon seeing the familiar sights of his childhood town, accompanied by his mate, Mr. Tregaskis. The narrative sets the tone of warm camaraderie and humor as Captain Cai interacts with various townsfolk, including the gossipy Quaymaster and the barber, Mr. Toy. Their conversations reveal Cai's apprehensions about living ashore again and re-establishing relationships, particularly with his friend Hunken, whom he hopes will join him in this new phase of life. This opening not only establishes the main character's personality and desires but also hints at the strong sense of community and the comedic complexity that will unfold in their interactions.
