Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Patty—Bride" by Carolyn Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on the life of Patricia "Patty" Fairfield and her romantic entanglements, primarily involving her engagement to Bill Farnsworth and the persistent affections of Philip Van Reypen. As Patty navigates her relationships against the backdrop of societal expectations and personal desires, her character's journey unfolds with a blend of humor and drama. The opening of the novel introduces Patty and Philip in a tense conversation, where Philip expresses his unwillingness to give up on his feelings for Patty, despite her engagement to another man, Bill. As they argue over Patrick's commitment and Philip's hope to win her affection, the reader gets a glimpse into Patty's character—strong-willed yet compassionate, struggling with the dynamics of loyalty and love. The dialogue sets the tone for the ensuing narrative, suggesting the complexities of relationships during a time when traditional roles and duties were merging into more modern interpretations. This chapter establishes the conflict and character dynamics that will likely drive the story forward.
