*A Chance Acquaintance* is a realist novel that tells a story of a small-town girl Kitty Ellison, who goes on vacation with her family on a tour around north states and Quebec. During the holiday Miss Kitty meets Mr. Arbuton from Boston, narrow-minded uptight gentleman, often mistaken for an Englishman because of his manners. Their introduction happens under strange circumstances and Kitty finds herself pushed more and more into his direction, which leads to many unpredictable situations.
