Summary "The Delafield Affair" by Florence Finch Kelly is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Curtis Conrad, a determined young man who seeks vengeance against Sumner L. Delafield, a financier who caused the downfall of his family years ago. Set in the New Mexican landscape, the novel introduces themes of vengeance, loyalty, and the complexities of human relationships. At the start of the novel, we meet Curtis Conrad as he manages the day-to-day tasks on a ranch while contemplating the harsh realities of the drought affecting local cattle. His world is interrupted by the arrival of Mr. and Miss Bancroft, who provide a touch of lightness amid Curtis's burdens. During their visit, Curtis reveals his burning desire to confront Delafield, whose past actions had dramatic consequences for Curtis’s family—the catalyst for his quest for vengeance. The chapter expertly sets the stage for a rich narrative filled with tension, complex character interactions, and the looming specter of confrontation. The opening prepares the reader for an exploration of themes like revenge, personal sacrifice, and the impact of the past on the present. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
