Summary "Prince or Chauffeur? A Story of Newport" by Lawrence Perry is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Lieutenant John Armitage on a midnight train to Boston, where he encounters the illustrious Wellington family, including the captivating Anne Wellington. The narrative suggests themes of social class dynamics and romantic intrigue set against the backdrop of early 1900s Newport society. The opening of the novel introduces Lieutenant Armitage as he boards a train, experiencing a blend of excitement and curiosity, particularly when he observes Anne Wellington, a young woman of notable charm traveling with her disapproving mother. The interaction between Armitage and a porter hints at the social hierarchy and the Wellingtons' status. As the train rolls toward Newport, Armitage reflects on his ambition related to a torpedo he's invented, weaving together themes of aspiration and the complexities of social relationships within the elite circles of Newport, setting the stage for further developments in the story.
