Summary "Love, the Fiddler" by Lloyd Osbourne is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Frank Rignold, a chief engineer of a cargo boat who is deeply in love with Florence Fenacre, the daughter of a widow living in Bridgeport. The opening establishes the complexities in their relationship, as Florence enjoys a newfound wealth that threatens to alter their bond and Frank's aspirations for a future together. The beginning of the book presents a poignant moment when Frank returns to Bridgeport, hopeful about his relationship with Florence after sensing her developing feelings. However, the narrative quickly turns as Florence reveals her sudden inheritance of millions, which drastically changes their dynamics. She expresses that she is unwilling to marry, reflecting on the implications of wealth and her uncertainty about their future together. Frank struggles with his disappointment and the realization that their social worlds are diverging, setting the stage for a tale filled with emotional conflict and societal concerns about love, status, and personal identity.
