Summary |
"The Girls of Friendly Terrace; or, Peggy Raymond's Success" by Harriet L. Smith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Peggy Raymond, a vivacious and cheerful girl who has just returned to her charming neighborhood known as Friendly Terrace after being away. The narrative explores her relationships with her friends, their interactions, and the warmth of neighborly bonds within the community. The opening of the novel sets a lively tone as Peggy arrives home, greeted with excitement by her friends. The girls, including Priscilla, Amy, and Ruth, are animatedly discussing her return when a mix-up occurs with a stranger, adding a humorous touch to the scene. Peggy's contagious enthusiasm shines throughout the introduction, establishing her as a beloved figure in the community, capable of fostering relationships and bringing people together. As she reconnects with her friends and adjusts to new neighbors, the stage is set for future adventures and deeper friendships, particularly with a new girl named Elaine, who appears somewhat aloof and carries the weight of her family's recent struggles. The beginning hints at Peggy's positive influence and the potential for growth and understanding among the girls of Friendly Terrace. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
