Description

A young New Yorker named David Bolling finds himself tasked with escorting a shy, country‑grown girl named Eleanor through the bustling streets of Fifth Avenue. As the hansom clatters past elegant shops and glittering window boxes, David tries to make polite conversation, while Eleanor watches the city’s splendor with a mixture of curiosity and restraint. Their exchange hints at a larger social game—one that will test Eleanor’s adaptability and David’s sense of duty.

Set against the lively backdrop of early‑20th‑century Manhattan, the story gently explores the clash between provincial innocence and the polished world of high society. Through their tentative dialogue, listeners glimpse the subtle pressures of family expectations, the quirks of class, and the tentative steps of a young girl stepping into an unfamiliar world. The opening promises a charming, character‑driven journey that balances humor, tenderness, and the subtle drama of first impressions.
