Summary: "Her Ladyship's Elephant" by David Dwight Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the tumultuous romantic entanglements of two couples—Harold Stanley Malcolm St. Hubart Scarsdale and Mabel Vernon, alongside Robert Allingford, the United States consul, and his wife. The book appears to blend comedy and romance, highlighting cultural contrasts between Americans and the British as the characters navigate their misunderstandings and social conventions. At the start of the novel, Harold Scarsdale nervously prepares to propose to the enchanting American Mabel Vernon but somehow ends up proposing to her elderly aunt instead, igniting a humorous conversation around marriage and societal expectations. Meanwhile, the consul and his fiancée find themselves drawn into the chaos when a series of mistaken assumptions lead to their separation on their wedding day. The opening sets the stage for a humorous exploration of love, identity, and the cultural quirks of the late Victorian/early Edwardian era, as both couples navigate the perils of young love amidst societal pressures.
