| Summary |
"The Cock-House at Fellsgarth" by Talbot Baines Reed is a novel set in a 19th-century boys' boarding school. The story revolves around the experiences of new boys as they navigate the complexities of school life, friendship, and rivalry, particularly amid the ongoing conflict between the Classical and Modern factions at the school. At the start of the novel, the atmosphere at Fellsgarth is vibrant and chaotic as students return for a new term. The two new boys, Ashby and Fisher minor, find themselves overwhelmed by the excitement and antics of their peers. As Ashby struggles with an unexpected dinner bill, Fisher minor is painfully conscious of his inexperience while trying to fit in. The chapter humorously illustrates their initial foibles and sets the stage for their growth and the unfolding dynamics of school camaraderie and competition.
