| Summary | "That Affair at Elizabeth" by Burton Egbert Stevenson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around an urgent wedding scenario that transforms into a mystery when the bride-to-be, Marcia Lawrence, disappears on the very day she is set to marry Burr Curtiss. This unexpected turn triggers a series of events led by the protagonist, Mr. Lester, who is called upon to uncover the reasons behind her sudden flight. The opening of the book sets the stage with Mr. Royce, a junior partner at a law firm, preparing for his friend Burr's wedding when he learns that Marcia is missing. As Royce rushes to Elizabeth to assist, it becomes evident that Marcia’s disappearance is not merely a case of cold feet, but something much deeper and more troubling. Through a series of conversations, Royce and Lester uncover details about Marcia’s life and her mother, revealing complex emotions and mysterious circumstances. The narrative builds a sense of urgency and intrigue as Lester embarks on the search for Marcia, demanding answers that intertwine love, societal expectations, and hidden secrets.
