Project Gutenberg 2019-07-17 Public domain in the USA. 218 Broster, D. K. (Dorothy Kathleen) 1877 1950 Broster, Dorothy Kathleen The Yellow Poppy Produced by Marcia Brooks, Al Haines, Paulina Chin & the online Project Gutenberg team at http://www.pgdpcanada.net "The Yellow Poppy" by D. K. Broster is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set during the late 18th century, specifically in the context of the unrest in France around 1799. The story unfolds through the experiences of a group of Royalist fighters in Brittany, particularly focusing on characters like Roland de Céligny and the Marquis de Kersaint as they navigate their loyalties and the complexities of their war against the oppressive regime. The early plot centers on a hidden treasure associated with the Duc de Trélan and the mysterious word "Mirabel," which becomes critical to the unfolding events. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a cramped attic where a group of Chouan officers is gathered. The atmosphere is tense, filled with banter amid the urgent pressures of their secretive circumstances as they plan their moves against government troops. Amid their camaraderie, the focus shifts when an old lady's delirium over a wedding gift reveals a treasure linked to the Duc de Trélan, spurring the Abbé Chassin into action. His involvement deepens as he listens to the old woman's lingering memories of her past service, which entwines the characters in a web of history and fate, establishing a sense of mystery and urgency that propels the narrative forward.
