| Summary | "Jerry" by Jean Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is likely set in Italy and follows the adventures of Jerymn Hilliard, Jr., an American character who finds himself bored during his stay at the Hotel du Lac in Valedolmo. The plot revolves around his encounters with a variety of characters, including Gustavo, an eager waiter, and Constance Wilder, a young American woman who adds a romantic and adventurous twist to his stay. The opening portion of "Jerry" introduces us to Jerymn Hilliard, Jr., who is impatiently awaiting his family while feeling the weight of solitude during a long stay in an otherwise picturesque Italian town. He engages in witty conversation with Gustavo, the hotel's head waiter, who informs him of another American family in the area. Intrigued, Jerymn expresses his desire for diversion, which leads him to pursue an acquaintance with the beautiful and lively Constance Wilder, who is staying nearby. Their meeting sets the stage for light-hearted romantic tension, filled with comedic misunderstandings and observations about life, culture, and the nuances of human relationships.
