| Summary | "And So They Were Married" by Florence Morse Kingsley is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Elizabeth North, a young woman navigating the early stages of her engagement to Samuel Brewster, a civil engineer. The narrative delves into themes of love, societal expectations, and the contrast between the simplicity of country life and the complexities of urban society as Elizabeth prepares for her wedding. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Elizabeth, her family dynamics, and her budding relationship with Sam Brewster. The story begins with Mrs. North anxiously awaiting the return of her daughter from an outing, showcasing her overprotective nature as a caring mother. Elizabeth is depicted as a vibrant young woman who has recently experienced the thrill of love, while her mother and grandmother engage in discussions reflecting societal norms and the significance of suitable wedding attire. This introduction sets the tone for Elizabeth's journey through the excitement and challenges of impending marriage, heavily influenced by characters such as the flamboyant Evelyn Tripp, who complicates matters with her sophisticated but potentially extravagant ideas.
