Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Changed Brides" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the themes of love, betrayal, and the complications of marriage, focusing on the experiences of Anna Lyon, the bride-to-be, as she navigates the tumultuous events surrounding her wedding. The story is set against a backdrop of a dramatic winter storm, underscoring the emotional tension as expectations clash with the realities of fate. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the old toll-gate keeper and his wife, who are preparing for an anticipated wedding at Old Lyon Hall on a stormy night. While they await the arrival of the bridegroom, they discuss the challenges posed by the weather. The scene shifts to Anna Lyon herself, who is alone in her room, anxiously reflecting on her wedding day amidst the raging storm outside. As the evening progresses, the character of Drusilla Sterling emerges—a young woman in plight, who inadvertently becomes entangled in Anna's life. This opening portion sets the stage for a tale of unforeseen complexities and emotional turmoil that will unfold as the story progresses.
