Summary: "The Bandbox" by Louis Joseph Vance is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around Mr. Benjamin Staff, an American playwright, who is experiencing a tumultuous blend of homesickness and lovesickness while in London. The narrative introduces themes of romance and mystery, particularly surrounding a mysteriously delivered hat-box, hinting at a deeper intrigue involving relationships and personal identity. At the start of the novel, Mr. Staff finds himself in a dining room, grappling with his longing for home and a particular someone he wishes to marry. He decides to book passage back to New York but soon becomes entangled in a comedic situation when he inadvertently claims a hat-box that belongs to a young woman named Miss Eleanor Searle.
