| Summary | "The Little Brown Jug at Kildare" by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around Thomas Ardmore, a wealthy New Yorker who is characterized by his search for adventure and purpose beyond his affluence. Dissatisfied with the monotony of his life and his family's notoriety, Ardmore embarks on a quest that intertwines his fate with political intrigue, as he inadvertently becomes embroiled in the conflicts between two southern governors. At the start of the novel, we meet Ardmore at a railway station, expressing his frustration with life and longing for excitement. After a reflective conversation with his friend Griswold, Ardmore reveals that he is pursuing a mysterious girl he saw on a recent train journey. Meanwhile, tensions are hinted at between the governors of South and North Carolina, as a brewing conflict over an outlaw named Appleweight unfolds. Readers are introduced to a mix of humor and serious themes as Ardmore's whimsical quest leads him toward involvements that promise to shake the very foundations of his existence. The beginning sets the stage for both his personal journey and the broader political drama, promising an engaging blend of romance, satire, and social commentary.
