Synopsis

An International Episode follows Lord Lambeth and Percy Beaumont, two young Englishmen who travel to the United States in the late 19th century. After arriving in New York during the oppressive summer heat, they experience the city’s intensity and make observations about everyday life, local customs, and the pace of American society as they move through its busy streets. Their journey also brings them into contact with Mr. J. L. Westgate, an American who reflects both the hospitality and the unfamiliarity of their new environment. As the travelers begin to adjust, their plans and interactions broaden, leading them toward the social world of Newport and its intricate expectations.
