Summary "The Cardinal's Snuff-Box" by Henry Harland is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Peter Marchdale, an Englishman who's recently arrived in a picturesque Italian region, where he finds himself captivated by his landlady, the enigmatic and beautiful Duchessa di Santangiolo. The narrative explores themes of love, class differences, and the engaging dynamics of interactions between Peter and the seemingly ethereal figure of the Duchessa, all set against the backdrop of scenic landscapes that enhance the romantic tension. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Peter as he enjoys a moment by the river, reflecting on the stunning views and savoring a coffee. His serene contemplation is soon interrupted by the Duchessa, who appears unexpectedly across the water, leading to a palpable jolt of attraction for Peter. Throughout this opening section, Peter engages with her through witty banter, revealing his fascination for her. The reader witnesses his burgeoning infatuation and the complexities surrounding their social standings—the American-Italian peasantry glimpses the innocent curiosity of Peter's character, as he navigates the mysteries of the Duchessa’s life while grappling with his own feelings of inadequacy and longing.
