Classics Read in English _ The Sunbridge Girls at Six Star Ranch by Eleanor H. Porter
"The Sunbridge Girls at Six Star Ranch" by Eleanor H. Porter is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of young girls from Sunbridge, particularly focusing on Cordelia Wilson and her friends, known as the Happy Hexagon Club, as they embark on an adventurous trip to Texas. Their journey promises new experiences, friendships, and the charm of the Texas ranch life that awaits them.
At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Cordelia's aunt, Miss Sophronia, who is astonished to learn about Cordelia's upcoming trip to Texas with her friends. As the girls prepare for their adventure, excitement builds in their small New Hampshire town, and they eagerly discuss their plans and what awaits them at Genevieve Hartley's Texas ranch. The opening portions establish the strong personalities of the girls, their relationships, and hints at the cultural differences they will discover as they transition from the familiar surroundings of their home into the vast unknown of the Texas landscape, laying the groundwork for the journey ahead.
Among the contents
The Reverend Thomas Wilson's sister, Miss Sophronia, had come to Sunbridge on a Tuesday evening late in June to make her brother's family a long-promised visit. But it was not until the next morning that she heard something that sent her to her sister-in-law in a burst of astonishment almost too great for words.
"For pity's sake, Mary, what is this I hear?" she demanded. "Edith insists that her cousin, Cordelia, is going to Texas next week?to Texas!?Cordelia!"
"Yes, she is, Sophronia," replied the minister's wife, trying to make her answer sound as cheerful and commonplace as she could, and as if Texas were in the next room. (It was something of a trial to Mrs. Thomas Wilson that her husband's sister could not seem to understand that she, a minister's wife for eighteen years and the mother of five children, ought to know what was proper and right for her orphaned niece to do?at least fully as much as should a spinster, who had never brought up anything but four cats and a parrot!) "Edith is quite right. Cordelia is going to Texas next week."
