Johanna Porter is a high school drop-out who has spent her time working various jobs including being a waitress. However, after the death of her mother, she comes across her mother's journal in the attic and is devastated to read about her mother's views on her dropping out of school and so vows to go back. Johanna found it difficult to be back as a member of the student body since everyone's talking about her and labeling her as a drop-out. She also has to come to terms with her long-time crush Peter DeHaven--a brilliant science student who is considered to be one of the brainiest guys in school, and who's surprisingly dating superficial cheerleader Amy. She finds solace in Elizabeth and confides in her that she and Peter are secretly seeing each other but is hurt when she thinks that Liz has betrayed her after Amy finds out. Angry and disappointed when Peter scrawls a note stating that they shouldn't see each other anymore, Johanna finds that this is the final straw and drops out of school for good. Elizabeth tells Peter what has happened and he is torn about what to do, on the one hand he deeply cares for Johanna yet, on the other, he is too scared to let these feelings show. Will Peter be able to persuade Johanna to return or is she destined to feel like a failure forever?

Apparently a two part story about a Damsel and a Knight, perhaps a damsel who depends upon the kindness of strangers. It was originally entitled "Dynamite" and first published by installments in the New York Herald. The book itself was the biggest commercial success for Conrad up until that time, 1913. It allowed Conrad for the first time to settle his financial affairs. The author's disdain for people who live on the land is apparent. A new understanding of the word "enthusiastic" is promulgated. And it is a love story. Let us see how the tale goes.First Page:Transcribed form the 1914 Methuen & Co. edition by David Price, email ccx074@coventry.ac.ukCHANCE A TALE IN TWO PARTSThose that hold that all things are governed by Fortune had not erred, had they not persisted thereSIR THOMAS BROWNE

We helped the boy we had with us to haul the boat up on the landing stage before we went up to the riverside inn, where we found our new acquaintance eating his dinner in dignified loneliness at the head of a long table, white and inhospitable like a snow bank.The red tint of his clear cut face with trim short black whiskers under a cap of curly iron grey hair was the only warm spot in the dinginess of that room cooled by the cheerless tablecloth. We knew him already by sight as the owner of a little five ton cutter, which he sailed alone apparently, a fellow yachtsman in the unpretending band of fanatics who cruise at the mouth of the Thames...
