E-text prepared by Richard Tonsing, Tim Lindell, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Captains of Harley: A School Story" by Hylton Cleaver is a school novel likely written in the early 20th century." The story centers around the experiences of boys at Harley School as they navigate friendship, sports, and the challenges of growing up. Key characters introduced include the wiry boy in the corner, Bobbie Carr, and the humorous yet enigmatic Rouse, who aspires to be the captain of the rugby team. "The opening of the story introduces Bobbie Carr as he observes a chaotic send-off at the train station, highlighting the contrasting experiences of different boys." As he boards the train to Harley School, he encounters Arthur, a fat boy in distress over his misplaced ticket, and the clever Rouse, who playfully concocts a plan to help him despite its absurdity. The chapter sets the tone for the reader, showcasing comedic interactions, the camaraderie among the boys, and the social dynamics that will unfold at the school.
