| Summary |
"Green Timber Thoroughbreds" by Theodore Goodridge Roberts is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to revolve around themes of bravery, rural life, and challenges involving the enigmatic and potentially dangerous Dangler family, as well as connections to horse breeding and racing. Key characters introduced so far include the resourceful Robert Vane, who arrives in a small village at a critical moment, and the young woman Josephine Hinch, whose life he saves from a burning house. At the start of the book, we witness the frantic scene of an elderly man named Dave Hinch escaping a fire, with Vane arriving just in time to rescue him and his granddaughter, Joe. Following this heroic act, Vane becomes intrigued by the horse breeding legacy linked to the Dangler family, particularly as he learns of their notorious reputation for violence and deceit. The opening chapters set a suspenseful tone, hinting at Vane's determination to explore his ambitions while facing potential dangers associated with the Dangler clan and their hidden agendas. As the chapters unfold, the tension rises with Vane's interactions with the locals, especially Joe, who warns him of the imminent and possibly life-threatening complications that may arise from his intentions.
