"Broken to Harness: A Story of English Domestic Life" by Edmund Yates is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around characters embedded in the tapestry of English society, depicting their interactions and the various social dynamics at play. The opening introduces Frank Churchill, a literary contributor, and sets the stage for his upcoming holiday at his godfather's countryside estate, while hinting at potential romantic entanglements. At the start of the narrative, we find Mr. Churchill immersed in his work at the "Statesman" office where he is greeted by his colleague, Mr. Harding.

As Churchill prepares for his countryside excursion, he reflects humorously on marriage and the societal pressures associated with it.
