| Summary | "Kate Meredith, Financier" by Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in West Africa and follows the experiences of George Carter, a new clerk who is navigating the complexities of trade and local customs in a foreign land, while under the influence of both the local populace and the European traders. The narrative hints at the interplay between colonialism, commerce, and cultural misunderstandings. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Carter as he arrives at Malla-Nulla factory, where he must navigate dangerous waters—literally and figuratively. After an awkward and chaotic arrival by surf boat, he encounters Swizzle-Stick Smith, the disheveled factory manager, and learns about his new environment. The opening scenes are lively, filled with humor and camaraderie among the ship's crew and the local workers, painting a vivid picture of the tensions and peculiarities of West African trade. As Carter acclimatizes to his surroundings, the narrative sets the stage for further conflicts, particularly with the King of Okky and Carter's developing relationship with Laura Slade, who is entangled in the complexities of local and colonial politics.
