| Summary | "A Comedy of Elopement" by Christian Reid is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the picturesque surroundings of St. Augustine, Florida, focusing on the emotional dilemmas of the main character, Fanny Berrien, a beautiful young woman caught between two suitors; she is contemplating an elopement that could change her life forever. Accompanied by her innocent cousin Aimée, Fanny is navigating the complexities of love, societal expectations, and self-discovery. The opening portion introduces Fanny and Aimée as they discuss an impending elopement, which creates tension and intrigue. Fanny is conflicted about her feelings for Lennox Kyrle, her passionate admirer, and is also aware of the stabilizing presence of her other suitor, Mr. Meredith. The narrative captures the youthful excitement and innocence of Aimée as she listens to her cousin’s romantic troubles. However, Fanny's indecision leads her to enlist Aimée's help in delivering a message to Lennox, setting the stage for a series of choices that will ultimately impact their lives. As Aimée embarks on her midnight errand, the stakes are raised, hinting at deeper themes of love and moral responsibility within this light-hearted comedy.
