Summary "In Doublet and Hose: A Story for Girls" by Lucy Foster Madison is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the late 16th century, the story revolves around a spirited young girl named Francis Stafford, daughter of Lord William Stafford. The tale follows her adventurous spirit as she seeks to challenge gender norms of her time through her skills in hunting, archery, and her desire to help her rightful queen, Mary Stuart, despite the political dangers involved. The opening of the narrative introduces the young heroine in the picturesque New Forest, where she is engaged in a spirited chase with her greyhound, Echo. As she interacts with her elderly cousin Hugh, we see her confident and defiant nature. The encounter leads to an exciting confrontation involving a deer, and Francis' determination to claim her rightful role as a skilled huntress sets the tone for her character. The chapter then transitions to Lord Stafford's impending mission to aid Mary Stuart, hinting at the larger historical and political narrative that will unfold, intertwining personal ambition with issues of loyalty, rebellion, and the fight for justice.
