The first day of term cannot be considered a cheerful occasion. As the boys arrive on the previous evening they have so much to tell each other are so full of what they have been doing that the chatter and laughter are as great as upon the night preceding the breaking-up.

Typical Henty novel. Boy has troubles. Boy has influential relative. Boy leaves home for an adventure (in this case, off to war). Boy sees adventure (in this case, the Crimean war). Boy does brave things, boy does risky things, boy gets captured, things work out. Boy meets girl. Boy saves someone's life. Boy has more adventure. Boy returns, does more brave things, saves more people's lives, lives through the adventure, heads home and is successful. Boy meets girl again. Boy gets married. Boy (and girl) live happily ever after. (
