Summary:

"True, and Other Stories" by George Parsons Lathrop is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The opening story revolves around the theme of love and loss, beginning with the historical tale of Guy Wharton and Gertrude Wylde, set in the late 16th century. It explores the depth of human emotions through the life of Guy, who embarks on a journey following Gertrude, only to face separation and uncertainty. The beginning of the collection introduces us to Guy Wharton, a young man in love with Gertrude Wylde amidst the backdrop of 1587 England. As their romantic dreams take flight with plans to join a colonizing expedition to Virginia, tragedy strikes when Guy's father dies, hindering his journey. The narrative captures the poignant moments of their affection while foreshadowing their tragic separation and the struggles Guy faces in the wake of his loss. It deftly weaves themes of hope, longing, and the inexorable passage of time, alluding to the mysterious fate of the lost colony. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
