Summary "The Squire's Daughter: Being the First Book in the Chronicles of the Clintons" by Archibald Marshall is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story sets the stage for the life of Cicely Clinton, the daughter of a wealthy squire, as she navigates her first experiences in London's high society, highlighted by a grand Court Ball. Through the lens of Cicely's adventures, the novel explores themes of social status, family dynamics, and the contrast between country and city life. The opening of the novel introduces Cicely and her family as they make their way to a Court Ball in London. The Squire, her father, is depicted as a jovial character reminiscing about past ball experiences, while Mrs. Clinton's quiet demeanor contrasts Cicely's excitement about the lavish event. As the family arrives at the ball, Cicely is enthralled by the opulence surrounding her and is eager to dance and meet new people, yet feels the pressure of being a newcomer in this vibrant world. The first chapter sets a tone of anticipation and introduces various family members and dynamics that will play a significant role as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
