Explore "Dorothy Dale's Engagement" by Margaret Penrose on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Dorothy Dale and her friend Tavia Travers had often experienced very serious adventures, but the shock of this incident perhaps was as great and as thrilling as anything that had heretofore happened to them.
The series of eleven previous stories about Dorothy, Tavia, and their friends began with "Dorothy Dale: A Girl of To-day," some years before the date of this present narrative. At that time Dorothy was living with her father, Major Frank Dale, a Civil War veteran, who owned and edited the _Bugle_, a newspaper published in Dalton, a small town in New York State.
