| Summary | "A Romance in Transit" by Francis Lynde is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the interactions and relationships between various passengers aboard a train, focusing particularly on the character of Frederick Brockway, a young passenger agent, and his complicated feelings towards Gertrude Vennor, the daughter of a wealthy railroad president. The book explores themes of social class, romance, and the conflict between personal ambition and societal expectations. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to a diverse group of train passengers, each with their own backgrounds and stories. Particularly significant is the exchange between Brockway and Mrs. Burton, who engages in playful speculation about Brockway's feelings towards Miss Vennor after recognizing that their paths have crossed before. As they navigate their relationships amid the train's journey, Brockway’s internal struggle with his socioeconomic status and his growing affection for Gertrude complicate his interactions. The opening sets a tone of romantic intrigue intertwined with the dynamics of social class, hinting at deeper developments as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
