"Betrothed for a Day: Or, Queenie Trevalyn's Love Test" by Laura Jean Libbey is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character of Queenie Trevalyn, a beautiful and ambitious young woman who finds herself at the center of romantic entanglements during the last night of the Newport social season. Through her interactions with attractive suitors, the narrative explores themes of love, wealth, and social obligation, as Queenie must navigate her feelings and ambitions in a society that places immense value on monetary success. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Queenie's vibrant social life at a lavish ballroom setting in Newport, where she is the belle of the ball. The opening chapters depict her close encounters with two suitors: the gallant John Dinsmore, who heroically rescues her from a malfunctioning elevator, and the wealthy heir Raymond Challoner, who seems to embody the wealth Queenie desires. As the story unfolds, Queenie's ambition for wealth supersedes her emotional attachments, particularly in her interactions with John, who aspires to win her love. The initial chapters set the stage for a romantic conflict, revealing Queenie's internal struggles between love and her relentless pursuit of financial security, ultimately teasing the tensions that will shape her choices and their consequences.
