| Summary | "Godsend to a Lady" by B. M. Bower is a short story published in the early 20th century, specifically in 1920. This narrative blends elements of adventure and comedy, chronicling the life of Casey Ryan, an old stagecoach driver turned prospector, who finds himself thrust into unexpected encounters while on his journey to a new life filled with dreams and excitement. The story primarily explores themes of human connection, generosity, and the unpredictability of life. The plot centers around Casey Ryan as he travels across Nevada with twenty-five thousand dollars in his pocket from a recent silver sale, hoping to enjoy the pleasures of life in Los Angeles. However, his journey takes a turn when he discovers a stranded car stuck in the mud, belonging to a married couple, Jack and the show lady. Displaying kindness and selflessness, Casey helps them, sacrificing his personal plans in the process. Despite the couple's unfortunate circumstances and their artistic ambitions, Casey finds himself charmed by the show lady and becomes embroiled in their comedic misadventures. Ultimately, the story delivers a poignant reflection on Casey's dreams and disappointments, culminating in a realization of life's complexities, as his good intentions lead to unexpected outcomes.
