(Edmund) The School Friends; Or, Nothing New Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The School Friends; Or, Nothing New" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Lance Loughton and Emery Dulman, two friends attending Elmerston Grammar-School, highlighting their differing personalities and academic standings. Lance is studious and principled, while Emery, despite being well-liked, struggles with peer pressure and the temptations that come with a privileged lifestyle. The narrative explores themes of friendship, personal integrity, and the consequences of one's choices. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the schoolmates Lance and Emery, who have contrasting characters that shape their friendship. While Lance is dedicated to his studies and caring for his ailing mother, Emery yearns for social recognition and often flouts good advice, hinting at his reckless nature. The opening scenes depict the dynamics of their relationship, with Lance's noble intentions often clashing with Emery's desire for acceptance among their wealthier peers. A subplot involving Madelene Hayward, an orphan raised by Lance's family, underscores the narrative’s exploration of loyalty, care, and the sacrifices made for loved ones. As the plot unfolds, the events foreshadow deeper challenges related to character development and moral dilemmas tied to friendship. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
