Summary "Dorothy's Double" by G. A. Henty is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. This novel, part of a trilogy, revolves around the character Dorothy Hawtrey, who finds herself embroiled in a troubling mystery involving impersonation and stolen jewelry. The story hints at themes of innocence, trust, and societal judgment as Dorothy navigates the implications of a looming legal battle and her relationships with those around her. The opening of "Dorothy's Double" introduces readers to a tense situation involving an accusation against Dorothy, where her character is questioned amidst a backdrop of legal consultations. Mr. Hawtrey, Dorothy's father, along with Mr. Singleton and the lawyer Mr. Levine, discuss the intricate developments surrounding a case of jewel theft and the startling possibility of a woman impersonating Dorothy. As they unpack the implications of the evidence, Dorothy defends her honor, showcasing her inner strength and determination against the turmoil surrounding her. The complexities of her relationships, especially with Captain Hampton, also begin to unfold, setting the stage for both romantic and reputational challenges as the narrative propels forward. This opening sets a dramatic tone for the unfolding mystery and the emotional stakes at play in Dorothy's life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
