| Summary | "Little Miss Grouch" by Samuel Hopkins Adams is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around a young man referred to as the Tyro, who embarks on his maiden transatlantic voyage aboard the steamship Clan Macgregor. Onboard, he encounters a troubled girl nicknamed "Little Miss Grouch," who is running away from an unwanted engagement and grappling with her own feelings of despair. The opening of the narrative introduces us to the bustling scene of departure from the pier, where the Tyro initially feels a pang of loneliness amidst the farewells from others. He soon meets the girl who captures his attention—a small, forlorn figure battling her emotional turmoil while trying to escape an arranged marriage. Throughout their humorous yet poignant interactions, a bond begins to form as the Tyro offers her gentle support while trying to understand her plight. This dynamic sets the stage for an unfolding journey that not only involves their personal challenges but also hints at broader themes of identity and societal expectations as they navigate life aboard a ship filled with intriguing characters.
