"Norine's Revenge, and Sir Noel's Heir" by May Agnes Fleming is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story likely revolves around themes of love, jealousy, and social dynamics given the interactions between its characters, particularly focusing on Norine Kent Bourdon, a young girl navigating her emotions and relationships in a rapidly changing world. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Richard Gilbert, a thirty-five-year-old lawyer traveling on a train, where he encounters the enchanting young Norine Bourdon. As a snowstorm rages outside, Richard's attention becomes captivated by Norine, who is traveling alone, leaving behind a complicated family circumstance. Their ensuing conversation reveals her innocence and naivety, setting the stage for a budding relationship. The tension escalates as Gilbert begins to develop feelings for Norine, who must reconcile her feelings with her recent encounters, including the charming but troubled Laurence Thorndyke, who impacts her life in ways that seem destined to intertwine with her future.
