The Purple Parasol is a novel written by George Barr McCutcheon, first published in 1905. The story follows the adventures of a young American woman named Elizabeth Dalrymple, who travels to Europe with her aunt and uncle. While in Paris, Elizabeth purchases a beautiful purple parasol, which becomes the focus of attention for several men, including a French artist and an American millionaire. As Elizabeth navigates the complexities of love and romance, she must also contend with the disapproval of her aunt and uncle, who are determined to see her marry a wealthy and socially acceptable suitor. Meanwhile, a group of thieves are plotting to steal the valuable parasol, leading to a thrilling climax in which Elizabeth and her suitors must work together to foil the criminals and save the day.The Purple Parasol is a charming and humorous tale of love and adventure, set against the backdrop of turn-of-the-century Europe. McCutcheon's vivid descriptions of Parisian life and culture, as well as his engaging characters and witty dialogue, make this novel a delightful read for fans of historical fiction and romantic comedy.Rossiter felt himself turn hot and cold. His head began to whirl and his courage went fluttering away. Here was a queer complication. The quarry hunting for the sleuth, instead of the reverse. He fanned himself with his hat for one brief, uncertain moment, dazed beyond belief. Then he resolutely strode over to face the situation, trusting to luck to keep him from blundering his game into her hands. Just as he was about to put his foot upon the lamp-lit door-sill the solution struck him like a blow. She was expecting Havens to meet her!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
