Summary "Susan" by Ernest Oldmeadow is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Gertrude, a young woman who is both conflicted and protective regarding her maid, Susan, who is caught in the emotional turmoil of an unexpected romantic overture from a suitor. As the narrative unfolds, it showcases the intricacies of class distinctions, personal sacrifice, and the challenges of navigating relationships during a time dictated by societal norms. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to Gertrude and highlights her relationship with Susan, especially in light of Susan's recent preoccupation with a romantic letter she received from a man identifying himself as "Lord Ruddington." While Gertrude initially wrestles with her own feelings of annoyance and possessiveness over Susan, she soon discovers the depth of Susan's emotional struggles and fears regarding love and marriage. As their lives begin to intertwine with the prospect of Susan's potential engagement, Gertrude’s protective instincts kick in, leading to various contemplations about duty, affection, and societal expectations. The details vividly portray their daily lives, establishing a strong foundation for both characters, while laying the groundwork for the ensuing conflicts and comedic elements.
