N2  - "Dorothy on a House Boat" by Evelyn Raymond is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Dorothy Calvert, a spirited young girl who has had a life filled with adventures and new beginnings. After receiving an unexpected gift of a house boat named "The Water Lily," Dorothy embarks on a journey that promises fun, exploration, and the introduction of new friends and experiences.  The opening of the novel introduces us to Dorothy and her great-aunt Betty as they react to the astonishing news of the house boat gift. Dorothy's joy is palpable, and her quick enthusiasm for sailing and adventure shines through, while Aunt Betty is initially skeptical about the practicality of such a gift. The story sets the stage for their preparations to explore the boat, the diverse group of characters that will join them, and the promise of new adventures on the water, highlighting themes of friendship, generosity, and the spirit of exploration. As Dorothy begins to plan her cruise, she invites a mix of friends and acquaintances onto the boat, hinting at the social dynamics and potential conflicts that may arise during their journey.
