Prue And I is a novel written by George William Curtis. It tells the story of two young lovers, Prue and her unnamed narrator, as they navigate their way through the challenges of life in 19th century New York City. The novel is a romantic comedy, filled with witty dialogue, charming characters, and a healthy dose of satire. The narrator is a young man from the countryside who has come to the city to seek his fortune. He meets Prue, a beautiful and intelligent young woman, and they quickly fall in love. However, their relationship is complicated by the social conventions of the time, as well as the interference of Prue's overbearing mother. As they struggle to overcome these obstacles, the two lovers must also contend with the larger issues facing the city, such as poverty, corruption, and inequality. Through it all, they remain steadfast in their love for each other, and the novel ends on a hopeful note. Prue And I is a charming and entertaining novel that provides a window into the social and cultural landscape of 19th century America.But there is something pleasanter to contemplate during these quiet strolls of mine, than the men who are going to dine out, and that is, the women. They roll in carriages to the happy houses which they shall honor, and I strain my eyes in at the carriage window to see their cheerful faces as they pass. I have already dined; upon beef and cabbage, probably, if it is boiled day. I I am not expected at the table to which Aurelia is hastening, yet no guest there shall enjoy more than I enjoy, --nor so much, if he considers the meats the best part of the dinner. The beauty of the beautiful Aurelia I see and worship as she drives by.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
