520			_a"Mistress Spitfire" by J. S. Fletcher is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the events of the English Civil War (1642-1644), focusing on the experiences of Richard Coope, a young man risking his education and future for the tumult of war, and his cousin, Mistress Alison French. The story explores themes of loyalty, personal ambition, and the conflict between familial duty and ideological beliefs. At the start of the novel, Richard Coope is introduced while he is in the company of his ailing Uncle Sir Nicholas at East Hardwick Manor. The somber atmosphere created by the rainy weather and his uncle's gout reflects Richard’s own internal struggles regarding his destiny. Sir Nicholas wishes for Richard to pursue a legal career and serve the King, while Richard yearns for a quiet life immersed in literature. The plot thickens with the announcement of the onset of civil war, prompting Richard to contemplate his loyalties. A visit from his cousin Alison adds further tension, revealing family dynamics fraught with rivalry and unacknowledged feelings. As Richard grapples with the call to arms, he becomes aware of the implications of defying his uncle’s wishes, leading him toward a fateful decision about where his loyalties lie.
