| Summary | "Wired Love: A Romance of Dots and Dashes" by Ella Cheever Thayer is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Miss Nathalie Rogers, a telegraph operator who finds herself entangled in a unique romantic relationship with a mysterious figure known only as "C." As they communicate solely through telegraph signals, their exchanges spark both playful banter and deeper emotional connections, exploring the themes of love, identity, and societal expectations. At the start of the story, Nattie is engrossed in her work at the telegraph office when she receives an unexpected call from "X n," a distant telegraph office. This interaction introduces the witty and somewhat combative dynamics she has with "C," who challenges her skill as an operator and engages her in flirtatious repartee. As Nattie struggles with her duties amid distracting visitors and a spilled ink mishap, she becomes intrigued by "C," who is at once a distant figure and a compelling partner in her solitary world. Their communication captures the excitement and trials of a budding romance conducted through the impersonal yet intimate medium of dots and dashes, setting the stage for further developments in their unusual relationship.
