| Summary | "My Brave and Gallant Gentleman: A Romance of British Columbia" by Robert Watson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around George Brammerton, the second son of an aristocratic family, navigating the complexities of love, social standing, and familial loyalty amidst a backdrop of impending marriage announcements and societal expectations. The introductory chapters set up a tension between George's free-spirited disposition and his brother Harry's more traditional pursuits, particularly regarding a charming yet controversial lady, Rosemary Granton. At the start of the narrative, we find George reflecting on Lady Rosemary Granton, who is set to marry his haughty brother, Harry. As George contemplates her dramatic upbringing and the whispers of scandal surrounding her, he grapples with his own feelings about the marriage and his place in a world dictated by social status. The opening also introduces key characters, including his father, who holds steadfast to family traditions, and Harry, who embodies the arrogance of aristocracy. The groundwork is laid for conflict, not only within George's family but also in the romantic tension surrounding Lady Rosemary and the social repercussions of Harry's past entanglements.
