Summary "In the Bishop's Carriage" by Miriam Michelson is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story introduces us to Nancy Olden, a spirited young woman who finds herself embroiled in a series of misadventures in a city teeming with opportunity and mischief. The narrative promises a blend of humor, social commentary, and a touch of romance as Nancy navigates through her escapades. The opening of the book establishes Nancy’s character as clever, bold, and somewhat reckless, stealing a watch and donning a beautiful red coat that doesn’t belong to her while escaping from the police. As she retreats into a women’s waiting room at the train station, she observes the various women around her, revealing a mix of humor and social critique. Eventually, she slips into a luxurious carriage, mistakenly assuming it belongs to her father, only to discover it is the Bishop's. As the Bishop enters, the plot unfolds with an entertaining mix of misunderstandings and deception, hinting at a deeper exploration of Nancy’s ambition and identity throughout the novel.
