Summary "The Official Chaperon" by Natalie Sumner Lincoln is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Marjorie Langdon, who becomes the official chaperon for Janet Fordyce, the daughter of a wealthy family in Washington, D.C. The narrative explores themes of social expectations, romance, and the complexities of relationships within high society during this era. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to various characters as they navigate life in Washington. The story opens aboard a Pullman sleeper, where a traveler, later revealed to be Duncan Fordyce, observes the bustling life of Washington as he arrives in the city. The narrative quickly shifts focus to Marjorie, who is dealing with her dismissal from Admiral Lawrence due to a missing codicil and her financial struggles. As she enters her new role as a chaperon for Janet, the reader is drawn into the social dynamics, tensions, and romantic entanglements that unfold, setting the stage for a captivating exploration of love and intrigue.
