Mrs. Pendleton's Four-in-Hand is a novel written by Gertrude Atherton. The story revolves around Mrs. Pendleton, a wealthy widow who embarks on a journey across America in her luxurious carriage, accompanied by her four horses and a team of devoted servants. Along the way, she encounters a variety of characters, including a group of young socialites, a band of outlaws, and a handsome young doctor. As she travels, Mrs. Pendleton reflects on her life and the choices she has made, and begins to question whether her wealth and status have brought her true happiness. The novel is a witty and charming exploration of the social mores of turn-of-the-century America, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the wealthy elite of the era.1903.

The story begins: Jessica, her hands clenched and teeth set, stood looking with hard eyes at a small heap of letters lying on the floor.
