520			_a"Mignon; or, Bootles' Baby" by John Strange Winter is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Captain Algernon Ferrers, affectionately called "Bootles," who unexpectedly finds himself responsible for a baby girl named Mignon after her mother leaves her in his care, thus triggering a series of humorous and heartfelt events within a military barracks setting. At the start of the narrative, Bootles is introduced during a late-night card game, where he suffers from a headache and seeks solitude, inadvertently discovering a baby in his bed. Confused and surprised, Bootles learns from a letter that the child is his—though he claims no knowledge of her origins despite the implications. A mix of light-hearted banter, camaraderie among officers, and Bootles's growing attachment to Mignon unfolds as his fellow officers tease him about this unexpected turn of events. The opening chapters set the stage for a charming exploration of love, responsibility, and the complexities of life in a military community, while Bootles navigates the challenges of parenthood.
