Summary "The Queen of Sheba, and My Cousin the Colonel" by Thomas Bailey Aldrich is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows Edward Lynde, the assistant cashier at the Nautilus Bank in Rivermouth, as he embarks on a seemingly aimless horseback journey through New Hampshire in June 1872. This adventure quickly turns into an unexpected exploration of romantic ties, personal revelations, and whimsical encounters that shape his character and future. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Edward Lynde, who is eager to escape his mundane life. He rides out on a less-than-ideal horse, Mary, and reflects on the beauty of the June landscape while confronting the horse's quirky behavior. His adventure takes a turn as Mary unexpectedly flees from him, leading Lynde into the heart of a mysterious village where he meets a range of peculiar characters, including a young girl who confusingly declares herself as the "Queen of Sheba." This opening sets the stage for Lynde's journey of self-discovery, as he grapples with unexpected relationships and whimsical circumstances that challenge his understanding of life and love.
