Summary "Kit and Kitty: A Story of West Middlesex" by R. D. Blackmore is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work introduces readers to Christopher Orchardson, affectionately known as Kit, who reflects on his past obligations and his relationship with his guardian uncle, Corny, as well as the blossoming romance with a young lady named Kitty Fairthorn. The story likely explores themes of love, social class, and personal growth against the backdrop of pastoral England. The opening of the novel sets the tone by describing Kit's life in the serene village of Sunbury, Middlesex, where he has lived comfortably with his Uncle Corny for many years, working in their modest garden. As Kit narrates his experiences, he reveals his close bond with his uncle, as well as Corny's sturdy disposition and opinions about women. Their lives take an exciting turn when Kit encounters the beautiful Kitty during a church service, marking the beginning of his infatuation. As adversity strikes in the form of a river flood, Kit heroically rescues Kitty and her companion Mrs. Marker, fostering a budding relationship filled with tension and intrigue as they navigate social expectations and personal desires.
