Summary |
"Cynthia's Chauffeur" by Louis Tracy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds on Derby Day in London and introduces a delightful American girl named Cynthia Vanrenen and her English chaperon, Mrs. Devar. When their chauffeur is unable to take them on their planned journey due to a car accident, young Lord Medenham decides to step in, disguising himself as their driver. This unexpected twist sets the stage for a unique love story entwined with themes of class distinction and adventure. At the start of the novel, the scene is bustling with the excitement of Derby Day, creating a lively backdrop. Cynthia and Mrs. Devar are poised to embark on a picturesque road trip, but when their chauffeur encounters misfortune, they are introduced to Lord Medenham, who takes over the driving duties. The initial interactions between Cynthia and Medenham hint at an undeniable chemistry as they embark on their journey through the English countryside, all while evading social conventions and class expectations. The opening chapters establish a blend of romance, humor, and the potential for adventure, enticing readers to follow as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
