Project Gutenberg 2006-06-03 Public domain in the USA. 280 Lincoln, Joseph Crosby 1870 1944 Lincoln, Joseph C. Cap'n Warren's Wards Produced by Donald Lainson and D. A. Alexander "Cap'n Warren's Wards" by Joseph Crosby Lincoln is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to Captain Elisha Warren, a retired sea captain, who unexpectedly becomes the guardian of his deceased brother's children, Caroline and Stephen. The book captures the contrast between Captain Warren's rustic charm and the upper-crust expectations of his wealthy niece and nephew, setting the stage for humorous and heartfelt interactions as they navigate their new family dynamics. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a stormy train journey that brings Mr. Atwood Graves, a New York lawyer, to Cape Cod to inform Captain Warren of his brother's death and the unexpected responsibilities he has inherited. Captain Warren's jovial demeanor and witty observations provide comic relief against the gloomy backdrop of the storm. The opening establishes the main plot of a familial reunion filled with uncertainties as Captain Warren learns he is now entrusted not only with the care of his brother's children but also with the management of their considerable estate. The opening chapters effectively set the tone of the novel, promising a blend of humor, character-driven narratives, and exploration of themes surrounding family loyalty and social class differences.
