About this book

A Girl of the Commune is by G. A. Henty. Jeremiah Brander was one of the most prominent personages in the Cathedral town of Abchester. Jeremiah Brander enjoyed, in a very large degree, the confidence and respect of his fellow-townsmen, and his father and his grandfather had been, like himself, solicitors.

Cuthbert made an effort to take an interest in field sports and farming, but his father told him that it was evident the life was altogether distasteful to him, and that he was perfectly ready to make him an allowance that would enable him either to travel or to live in chambers in London. Mary asks whether the Franc-tireurs suffered much and gets the answer "I should say they lost more than half their number." A speaker at the open window says the troops are masters of Point du Jour and the Communists have tried in vain to drive them back.
