| Summary | "A Sovereign Remedy" by Flora Annie Steel is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with a humorous encounter between two young men, both named Edward Cruttenden, who collide while cycling in the picturesque Welsh landscape. Their meeting sparks a conversation about their similar backgrounds, as they both share the experience of being orphaned and from different social standings, highlighting the apparent randomness of wealth and privilege. At the start of the narrative, the two Edwards become immediate friends as they discover their shared name and engage in light banter about their lives. After their collision, they find themselves resting by a pool, discussing their circumstances, including the topic of money and class differences. A moment of camaraderie is interrupted by the arrival of others, including a clergyman and a doctor, each of whom brings their perspectives on wealth and its implications. The opening sets a conversational tone, leading to themes of social status, personal identity, and the pursuit of happiness amidst life's uncertainties, laying the groundwork for the evolving relationships and adventures that follow.
