Classics Read in English _ Best laid schemes by Meredith Nicholson
"Best Laid Schemes" by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Susan Parker, a twenty-six-year-old librarian, who feels that nothing significant has occurred in her life, particularly in regard to romantic encounters. Susan, grappling with her identity and the societal expectations placed upon her, yearns for adventure and a break from her monotonous routine. At the start of the narrative, the focus is on Susan's mundane existence as she reflects on her past interactions with various men, none of which led to meaningful relationships. The plot takes a turn when she receives an unexpected dinner invitation from her neighbor, Webster G. Burgess, who is desperate to impress an esteemed guest, Brown Pendleton. This encounter catalyzes a transformation in Susan, allowing her to shed the constraints of her former self and embrace her more vivacious persona as "Susie." The unfolding events suggest a mix of comedy and romance as Susan's dinner with the socially prominent figures leads to unexpected revelations and connections, setting the stage for further developments in her life.
Among the contents
Susan Parker was twenty-six and nothing had ever happened. To speak more accurately, plenty of things had happened, but Man had never happened. As a college girl and afterward, Susie had, to be sure, known many men; but they had all passed by on the other side. A young man of literary ambitions had once directed a sonnet at Susie, but she was not without critical judgment and she knew it for a weak effort. This young man afterward became the sporting editor of a great newspaper, and but for Susie¡¯s fastidiousness in the matter of sonnets she might have shared his prosperity and fame. A professor of theology had once sent her a sermon on the strength of a chance meeting at a tea; but this, though encouraging, was hardly what might be called a thrilling incident. Still, the young professor had later been called to an important church, and a little more enthusiasm for sermons on Susie¡¯s part might have changed the current of her life.
