Résumé

"Betty Gordon at Bramble Farm" by Alice B. Emerson is a captivating tale of a young girl's journey to self-discovery and adventure. The story begins with Betty Gordon, a twelve-year-old orphan, living with Mrs. Arnold in the small town of Pineville after the death of her mother. Betty's only known relative, her Uncle Dick, promises to visit and make arrangements for her future. When he finally arrives, he suggests that Betty spend the summer at Bramble Farm with Mrs. Peabody, an old school friend of his. Betty, who dreams of travel and adventure, is initially disappointed that the farm is not out West but is intrigued by the prospect of a new experience. Uncle Dick, a man of the world with a mysterious job, assures Betty that if she does not like Bramble Farm, he will make other arrangements for her. He leaves her with the promise of a riding habit, hinting at the possibility of learning to ride horses. Betty's journey to Bramble Farm is filled with anticipation and a bit of trepidation as she imagines what her new life will be like. Upon arrival at Hagar's Corners, Betty is met by a boy from the farm, who helps her with her luggage. The initial impression of the place is underwhelming, but Betty's adventurous spirit remains undaunted. The narrative sets the stage for Betty's summer at Bramble Farm, where she is likely to encounter new challenges, friendships, and perhaps the adventures she so eagerly seeks.
