"An Idyll of All Fools' Day" by Josephine Daskam Bacon is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The story follows Antony, a college senior, and his relationship with Nette, a young girl whom he is reluctantly tasked to entertain on a day out.

At the start of the narrative, Antony is coerced by his Uncle Julius to escort Nette, an attractive and spirited young woman. Their meeting is marked by a series of witty exchanges that reveal Antony's irritation and Nette's playful demeanor. The two are soon caught up in a series of misadventures, including a chaotic encounter with a snake and the ensuing panic that forces them to escape in a runaway car, leading to a plunge into a river.
