A Young Mutineer

A Young Mutineer is a juvenile fiction story for girls written by L. T. Meade, which was the pseudonym of Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Smith, a prolific writer of girls' stories.

The village choir were practicing in the church—their voices, somewhat harsh and uncultivated, were sending forth volumes of sound into the summer air. The church doors were thrown open, and a young man dressed in cricketing-flannels was leaning against the porch. He was tall, and square-shouldered, with closely-cropped dark hair, and a keen, intelligent face.
