About This Book

The narrative follows a social circle of sport-minded country-club members whose seasonal pleasures lead to city outings and romantic entanglements; a central figure, Eleanor Thursdale, experiences a sleepless wedding-train voyage that halts when floodwaters wash out a river bridge, forcing stranded passengers into awkward interactions, interrupted plans, and quiet revelations. Encounters among club acquaintances, including a persistent suitor, expose shifting loyalties, class manners, and the uneasy balance between adventure and domestic expectation as events move from clubhouse banter to crisis-driven intimacy.
