When young Mr. Lombard hears that Miss Dwyer and her sister Mrs. Eustis, are taking the train back to New York from San Francisco, he makes up an excuse to travel with them. Desperately in love with Miss Dwyer, he hopes to find the right moment to ask her to marry him, but the trip does not go according to plan.

Edward Bellamy (1850 - 1898) was an American author, journalist and political activist. His novel ‘Looking Backward: 2000-1887’ (1888) was one of the most successful books published in the United States in the 19th century and influenced a generation of intellectuals. Referenced in many Marxist publications of the time, the book inspired the formation of Nationalist Clubs dedicated to spreading his political ideas. Bellamy’s other works include the novels ‘Six to One’ (1878), ‘Dr. Heidenhoff's Process’ (1880), ‘Miss Ludington's Sister’ (1885), ‘Equality’ (1897), and ‘The Duke of Stockbridge; a Romance of Shays' Rebellion (1900)’.
