The Old Dolphin is a novel written by Mrs. George Cupples and published in 1885. The story is set in Scotland and revolves around the life of a retired sailor named Captain John Dolphin. He lives in a small village with his daughter, Mary, and his granddaughter, also named Mary. Captain Dolphin is a well-respected member of the community and is known for his kind and generous nature. The novel follows the family's daily life and their interactions with the other villagers. Captain Dolphin's past experiences as a sailor are also highlighted throughout the book. The story takes a turn when a young man named Jack arrives in the village and falls in love with Mary, the granddaughter. However, Jack's family disapproves of their relationship due to their difference in social status. The Old Dolphin is a heartwarming tale of family, love, and community.
