"Best Laid Schemes" by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Susan Parker, a twenty-six-year-old librarian, who feels that nothing significant has occurred in her life, particularly in regard to romantic encounters. Susan, grappling with her identity and the societal expectations placed upon her, yearns for adventure and a break from her monotonous routine. At the start of the narrative, the focus is on Susan's mundane existence as she reflects on her past interactions with various men, none of which led to meaningful relationships. The plot takes a turn when she receives an unexpected dinner invitation from her neighbor, Webster G. Burgess, who is desperate to impress an esteemed guest, Brown Pendleton. This encounter catalyzes a transformation in Susan, allowing her to shed the constraints of her former self and embrace her more vivacious persona as "Susie." The unfolding events suggest a mix of comedy and romance as Susan's dinner with the socially prominent figures leads to unexpected revelations and connections, setting the stage for further developments in her life.
