Project Gutenberg 2000-12-01 Public domain in the USA. 82 James, Henry 1843 1916 The Patagonia Transcribed from the 1922 Macmillan and Co. “Daisy Miller, Pandora, The Patagonia and Other Tales” edition by David Price. Proofing by Jonesey and Richard Carpenter "The Patagonia" by Henry James is a novel written during the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of a transatlantic voyage, the work explores themes of personal relationships, societal expectations, and the complexities of human connections. The story opens with a protagonist who is anxious for a sea trip amid the sweltering heat of August, leading him to seek out an old friend, Mrs. Nettlepoint, who is also preparing to embark on the same journey. The interactions hint at various character dynamics, particularly involving her son Jasper and a young woman, Grace Mavis, who is on her way to marry Mr. Porterfield. The opening of the novel establishes an intriguing atmosphere as the protagonist navigates a quiet Boston evening before the trip. He encounters Mrs. Nettlepoint at her home, where a conversation reveals the familial tensions and nuances of their lives. Grace Mavis appears as a figure shrouded in both admiration and sympathy, about to set sail toward her uncertain future. The narrative captures the interplay of feelings among the characters—Mrs. Nettlepoint’s anxiety about her son and his affairs, Jasper's nonchalant attitude, and Grace’s reserved yet complex demeanor—painting a rich tableau of human emotions as they embark toward a new chapter in their lives aboard the steamer "Patagonia."
