A comedic novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Sam Marlowe, a young man who becomes infatuated with Billie Bennett during their voyage on the R.M.S. Atlantic, while navigating the complications posed by rival suitor Bream Mortimer and Sam's own blundering attempts to win her heart. The opening of the novel sets the stage by introducing us to Sam and his love for Billie, whose high ideals complicate his affections. We also meet Mrs. Hignett, Sam's snippy aunt, and Eustace, a cousin with a broken heart over his own romantic woes, which adds to the comedic undertones. Despite a series of amusing misunderstandings and setbacks, such as Sam accidentally diving into the ocean during a chaotic departure, the groundwork for a romantic adventure unfolds—complete with witty exchanges and eccentric characters who enrich the story's lighthearted tone. This mix of romance, humor, and idyllic British settings promises an entertaining read for fans of classic comedic literature.
