Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Love Conquers Pride; or, Where Peace Dwelt" by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller is a romantic novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on Pansy Laurens, a factory girl navigating social class divides, romantic entanglements, and personal struggles, as she finds herself torn between love and pride. As she grapples with jealousy, societal expectations, and her own identity, Pansy becomes a symbol of resilience against the constraints placed upon her by class and circumstance. The opening of the novel introduces Pansy, a beautiful yet impoverished young woman who is staying with her aunt and uncle while reflecting on her feelings for Norman Wylde, a summer boarder who treats her with kindness amidst the condescension of society. Despite her humble beginnings as a tobacco factory worker and the scorn of a wealthy rival, Juliette Ives, Pansy's intelligence and charm attract Norman's affection. However, their budding romance is complicated when she learns about his prior engagement to Juliette, leading to misunderstandings and heartbreak. The beginning sets the stage for themes of love, social class, and the quest for dignity amidst adversity, as Pansy battles her emotions and the judgment of those around her.
