| 520 | _a"Winifred: or, An English maiden in the seventeenth century" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey is a novel written in the mid-19th century. Set amid the aftermath of the Monmouth Rebellion, it follows steadfast young Winifred Evans, a Somerset yeoman’s granddaughter whose compassion draws her into danger when she shelters a hunted gentleman tied to the loyalist gentry. Expect a morally earnest, historically colored tale of courage, conscience, family duty, and quiet female heroism. The opening of the story frames the brutal reprisals after Sedgemoor, then narrows to Master Evans’s farmhouse, where practical, devout Magdalen, bold-but-fearful Jack, and resolute Winifred live quietly. Sent with provisions to a poor widow, Jack flees the eerie Black Copse; Winifred goes instead, discovers a wounded fugitive hidden among ancient standing stones, and secretly revives him. After a hushed family council, she guides him at midnight to Dame Sprat’s remote cottage, where the widow recognizes him as “Master Arthur.” The next day, using a still-room errand to gain privacy, Winifred delivers his watch and a packet to Lady Peckham, who reveals the man is her beloved brother Arthur Carew; they decide he is safer concealed with Dame Sprat than at the Hall. Mrs. Alwright quietly supplies food and clothing, while tension spikes as Winifred meets the dreaded Colonel Kirke on the avenue, and at home Jack returns with a broken arm from forbidden bird-nesting. The section closes with chores, a letter and books from Winifred’s seafaring father, and the fugitive’s peril still unresolved. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
