Summary "Whom God Hath Joined: A Question of Marriage" by Fergus Hume is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to delve into themes of marriage and the complexities of relationships, particularly focusing on the characters Angus Macjean and Eustace Gartney as they navigate their social circles and personal challenges. The narrative hints at the potential consequences of love and the responsibilities tied to marriage and friendship. The opening portion of the work introduces two friends, Angus and Eustace, on a train journey through the Alps. As they endure the sweltering heat, the chapter reveals their contrasting personalities: Angus is a passionate young man caught between duty and desire, while Eustace is a pessimistic philosopher seeking deeper meaning in life. Through their dialogue, we learn about Angus's background, his relationship with his father, and his apprehension about marriage, particularly to a woman he is not fond of. The interaction sets the stage for the central conflict of marital expectations and the exploration of personal happiness amidst societal pressures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
