| Summary |
"Little Sweetheart: or, Norman De Vere's Protegee" by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the life of Norman de Vere, a handsome young man, as he embarks on a train journey that introduces him to a beautiful child dubbed Sweetheart. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of romance and intrigue, where Norman's interaction with Sweetheart, her mysterious mother, and the challenges that arise set the stage for a tale of love, jealousy, and resilience. At the start of the book, the reader meets Norman de Vere while he travels on a dreary train, seeking a more pleasant distraction in the ladies' car. There, he finds a silent woman in mourning with a delightful child named Sweetheart, who captures his attention with her innocent charms. Sweetheart’s carefree demeanor offers a contrast to the somber atmosphere around her mother, who remains hidden behind her veil. As the train journey continues, Norman's curiosity grows about the woman and the child, hinting at approaching events that will intertwine their fates. The opening chapters set a vivid scene filled with emotion, charming characters, and the promise of dramatic developments in their intertwined lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
