Summary: "A Chance Acquaintance" by William Dean Howells is a novel written in the late 19th century." The story follows Miss Kitty Ellison, a young woman embarking on an adventure through Canada with hopes of exploring scenic beauty and social connections. Intrigued by the prospect of meeting the cultured people of Boston, her journey intertwines her fate with Mr. Miles Arbuton, an aloof young man from that very city, setting the stage for a complex exploration of character and society. "The opening of the novel introduces Kitty as she eagerly awaits her trip on the Saguenay boat, reflecting on her privileged journey filled with excitement and expectation." She recalls her Uncle Jack's profound admiration for Boston and its notable figures, shaping her thoughts as she prepares to immerse herself in this new world. Meanwhile, Mr. Arbuton is introduced as a sophisticated yet distant figure, who carries with him the weight of societal expectations. Their initial interactions hint at contrasting views on life and culture, painting a vivid picture of societal dynamics as they embark on their shared journey through the Canadian landscape.
