基本説明
"The Camp Fire Girls in the Mountains" by Jane L. Stewart follows the adventures of the Manasquan Camp Fire group, led by their Guardian, Miss Eleanor Mercer. The story begins with the girls preparing for a friendly contest with a nearby troop of Boy Scouts, aiming to prove their self-reliance and skills in the wilderness. The narrative quickly shifts to a more serious tone as Bessie King and her friend Dolly Ransom become entangled in a dangerous situation involving a gypsy named John, who attempts to kidnap them under the influence of a mysterious Mr. Holmes. Despite the threat, the girls manage to escape, but the incident leaves them wary of further dangers. Eleanor receives a letter from her cousin, lawyer Charlie Jamieson, warning of potential threats from the gypsies and Mr. Holmes. The girls are summoned to testify against the gypsies in Hamilton, and Eleanor decides to accompany them, leaving the camp under the temporary guardianship of Miss Anna Drew. Upon arrival in Hamilton, they are shocked to learn that Jamieson has been arrested on charges related to the kidnapping attempt, a situation orchestrated by Holmes to discredit him. Throughout the story, themes of friendship, courage, and the pursuit of justice are explored. The girls' journey is not only a physical trek through the mountains but also a metaphorical journey of growth and empowerment. They learn to navigate the complexities of trust and betrayal while striving to uphold the values of the Camp Fire movement, which emphasizes independence and community service.
