Summary: "The Delafield Affair" by Florence Finch Kelly is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Curtis Conrad, a determined young man who seeks vengeance against Sumner L. Delafield, a financier who caused the downfall of his family years ago.

At the start of the novel, we meet Curtis Conrad as he manages the day-to-day tasks on a ranch while contemplating the harsh realities of the drought affecting local cattle. His world is interrupted by the arrival of Mr. and Miss Bancroft, who provide a touch of lightness amid Curtis's burdens.
