| Summary | "At Bay" by Mrs. Alexander is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against a vividly described Paris backdrop and introduces a cast of characters entangled in personal and social dilemmas, particularly focusing on the blossoming relationship between Hugh Glynn and the enchanting Elsie Lambert. The narrative hints at underlying tensions linked to social class and personal history, setting the stage for a complex interplay of romance and mystery. At the start of the story, we meet Hugh Glynn, who arrives in Paris for business. He encounters Lady Gethin, an elderly wealthy woman who is familiar with Travers Deering, a man whose past intrigues Glynn. During an afternoon in Paris, Glynn is captivated by a young woman named Elsie Lambert, reminiscent of someone from Deering's past. The narrative describes an elaborate dinner with various characters that includes exchanges conveying the complexities of their relationships. Elsie exhibits both beauty and a unique charm while expressing her fears and a hint towards a traumatic past, which catalyzes Glynn's protective instincts, suggesting a deeper connection and upcoming challenges intertwined with her upbringing and society's expectations.
