Troublesome Comforts
A Story for Children
E-text prepared by David Clarke, Mary Meehan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Troublesome Comforts" by G. R. Glasgow is a children’s story written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the Beauchamp family, particularly focusing on the eldest child, Susie, and her adventures while they are on a seaside holiday. The story explores themes of responsibility, childhood mischief, and family dynamics as the children navigate their antics by the sea. At the start of the tale, we meet Mrs. Beauchamp, who is managing her lively brood of children as they embark on their train journey to a seaside destination. The tumultuous scene inside the carriage showcases the various personalities of her children—especially the headstrong Susie and her siblings, Dick, Tommy, Amy, and baby Alick. As they arrive at their destination, the children are eager to explore the beach, leading to playful yet troublesome situations that unfold throughout their holiday. The opening chapters establish the familial love and chaos that defines their relationships, foreshadowing the challenges and heartwarming moments that will come as the story progresses.
