| Summary | "The Harlequin Opal: A Romance. Vol. 1 (of 3)" by Fergus Hume is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds around a group of old school friends, particularly focusing on Sir Philip Cassim, who reflects on a long-ago promise to reunite with his companions. As they come together, their lives reveal a mixture of personal pursuits, romantic entanglements, and an overarching connection to a legendary gemstone—the Harlequin Opal. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Sir Philip Cassim as he prepares for a reunion with his old friends after fifteen years. He recalls their youthful vows and muses on the changes time has wrought in their lives. The narrative then shifts as one friend, Jack Duval, shares an intriguing tale about the Harlequin Opal, a precious gem with a storied past related to love and power struggles in Cholacaca. As the friends reconnect, a looming adventure begins to take shape—combining elements of romance, intrigue, and possible conflict as they set off to uncover the fortunes tied to the opal and navigate the complexities of their own relationships.
