Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Lady Betty Across the Water" by C. N. Williamson and A. M. Williamson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Lady Betty Bulkeley, a young Englishwoman who is unexpectedly sent to America by her mother for a visit, which she initially views with uncertainty and excitement. The narrative explores her experiences as she navigates a new culture, her interactions with Americans, and the complexities of social expectations and relationships. At the start of the novel, Lady Betty is contemplating her feelings about being sent away from home as her mother announces a surprise visit invitation from Mrs. Stuyvesant-Knox in America. The initial chapter establishes Betty's character—a spirited and observant young woman—who grapples with her sense of agency amidst her mother's decisions. As she prepares for her transatlantic voyage, we see her yearning for independence, a desire to understand the changing dynamics of her family, and a budding curiosity about the world beyond her sheltered life in England. The opening sets up a delightful journey ahead, filled with cultural contrasts, personal growth, and the eventual adventure of crossing "the water."
