Greene, Mrs. (Louisa Lilias) 1833-1891 creator text utu 2026 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Jubilee Hall" by Mrs. Greene is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. It follows three spirited siblings—Fred, Harry, and Kathleen Malcomson—who spend their midsummer holidays at their aunt’s grand country house, where carefree fun quickly becomes a test of honesty, self-control, and conscience. With Lady Brinsley (Aunt Marian) as the kindly but firm hostess, the story blends lively mischief with moral lessons centered on truthfulness and responsibility. The opening of the book introduces the siblings’ ecstatic news of a holiday at Jubilee Hall, their boisterous farewell, and a chaotic journey that includes a turkey-induced mishap that ruins Kathleen’s parasol. At the Hall they revel in its beauty and abundance, while hints of temptation appear—especially when Fred discovers the storerooms and, the next day, rushes out without prayers. A fruit-picking contest brings the first moral crisis: Kathleen works hard; Harry tries (and then declines) to give her an unfair boost; and Fred secretly weights his can with stones, is awarded the prize, and then receives a gentle note appealing to his conscience. Though Kathleen is quietly given the rightful prize, guilt and pride unsettle Fred; a tender encounter with Aunt Marian (who assumes the best of him) eases his mood without prompting confession. A second contest—covering jam pots—ends with another prize for Fred, deepening the siblings’ concern, and the opening closes with Harry extracting a promise that the truth will be faced at home, while the holiday’s pleasures and pressures continue.
