"Ready, Aye Ready!" by Agnes Giberne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with Richard and Susan Dunn, a family who has recently moved from their beloved cottage to a much less idyllic setting in the manufacturing town of Littleburgh. The narrative explores their adjustment to this new environment, highlighting themes of family, social challenges, and the striving for a better life, as they settle into their modest new home and encounter their neighbors. At the start of the novel, we meet Susan Dunn, who expresses her discontent over their new home, "Woodbine Cottage," which lacks the beauty of their previous surroundings. The storyline introduces us to the struggles of the family as they adapt to their new circumstances, with Richard quickly finding work after losing his previous job due to economic hardships. We are also introduced to their children, particularly their daughter Nancy, who navigates her own social interactions, including a budding friendship with a boy named Archie Stuart. The opening sets up a rich tapestry of community dynamics and personal challenges that promise to unfold as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
