(John Ames) The Pines of Lory E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "The Pines of Lory" by John Ames Mitchell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces an intriguing connection between two main characters, Patrick Boyd, a man returning from Africa, and Elinor Marshall, an orphan with a generous heart. Their adventure begins when they find themselves passengers on a steamer bound for Boyd's Island, but soon they encounter unexpected circumstances that challenge their understanding of each other and compel them to confront deeper themes of love, virtue, and destiny. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the atmosphere aboard the steamer as the characters prepare for their journey. Boyd bears the scars of his recent past, still recovering physically and emotionally from his experiences in Africa. The narrative invites readers to witness his playful banter with his friend Billy Townsend, as well as the magnetic charm of Elinor, who is set to visit the Boyds’ house. Tension escalates amidst the humorous and social exchanges when the steamer unexpectedly lands at the wrong location, leaving both characters stranded in an isolated wilderness without someone to guide them. The initial light-heartedness gives way to a gripping tale intertwined with themes of romance and existential contemplation, as both characters are forced to confront their own vulnerabilities amidst unforeseen trials.
