Chapter I: The Brothers Sam and Sib.“Betty!”“Bess!”“Betsey!”One after another these names re-echoed through the hall of Helensburgh; it was the way the brothers Sam and Sib had of summoning their housekeeper.But just now these diminutives had no more power of bringing forth the worthy dame than if her masters had bestowed on her her rightful title.It was Partridge the factor, who, with his hat in his hand, made his appearance at the hall-door.Addressing the two goodnatured-looking gentlemen seated in the embrasure of a bow-window in the front of the house, he said,—“You were calling Dame Bess, masters, but she is not in the house.”“Where is she, then, Partridge?”“She has gone out with Miss Campbell for a walk in the park.”Then, at a sign from his masters. Partridge gravely retired.These gentlemen were the brothers Sam and Sib—christened Samuel and Sebastian—Miss Campbell's uncles, Scotchmen of the old school, and of an ancient Highland clan; they reckoned a hundred and twelve years between them, with only fifteen months' difference in age, Sam the elder, and Sib the younger.To give a slight sketch of these paragons of honour, benevolence, and unselfishness, it need but be said that their whole lives had been consecrated to their niece. Her mother, their only sister, was left a widow a year after her marriage, and survived her husband a very short time. Sam and Sib were thus left sole guardians of the little orphan, who very soon became the one object of their thoughts and mutual affection.

The Green Hat perfectly reflects the atmosphere of the 1920s—the post-war fashion for verbal smartness, youthful cynicism, and the spirit of rebellion of the "bright young things" of Mayfair. Iris Storm, femme fatale, races around London and Europe in her yellow Hispano-Suiza surrounded by romantic intrigue, but beneath the glamour she is destined to be a tragic heroine. A perfect synecdoche, in fact: as the hat is to the woman, so the words of the title are to an entire literary style. The success of the novel when it was first published in 1924 let to its adaptation for the screen, with Greta Garbo starring as Iris Storm.
