Charles King is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book is set around a military fort, focusing on the lives of the officers and their interactions, particularly in relation to a mysterious shooting incident involving a sentry. The narrative appears to center on Colonel Maynard, his family, and the young officers under his command, particularly Captain Chester and Lieutenant Jerrold, exploring themes of honor, intrigue, and personal relationships. At the start of the story, we learn about an unexplained shooting at the fort, which has piqued the curiosity of the garrison's officers and their families. The sentry, Private Leary, fired his weapon under mysterious circumstances, leading to a gathering of officers and speculation about the event. In the midst of the unfolding mystery, interpersonal dynamics are established, especially around Colonel Maynard's new family life and the budding tensions involving young officers, particularly between Lieutenant Jerrold and Miss Alice Renwick. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at deeper complexities and challenges faced by the characters, particularly issues of romance and duty within the regiment.
