520			_a"All for a Scrap of Paper: A Romance of the Present War" by Joseph Hocking is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of World War I, focusing on the emotional and moral dilemmas faced by its main characters, Robert ("Bob") Nancarrow and Nancy Tresize. The narrative explores themes of love, duty, and pacifism as characters grapple with the impact of war on their lives and relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the idyllic town of St. Ia in Cornwall, which is suddenly disrupted by the onset of war. The protagonist, Bob, a Quaker who is deeply influenced by his late father's anti-war sentiments, prepares to visit his long-time friend Nancy. Bob's romantic feelings for Nancy are at the forefront, but so is his disdain for war, which he views as antithetical to his beliefs. As the story progresses, Bob's internal struggle intensifies between his love for Nancy, who is drawn to soldiers and militarism, and his pacifist ideals. The opening chapters set the stage for the character development and conflict that will unfold as war threatens to upend their lives and choices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
