| Summary | "The Dodge Club; Or, Italy in MDCCCLIX" by James De Mille is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a group of American travelers, known as the Dodge Club, who embark on a journey through France and Italy, encountering various humorous situations and cultural misunderstandings along the way. Key characters include Dick, Buttons, the Senator, and their new companion, Mr. Figgs, as they navigate the complexities of European travel while attempting to dodge swindlers and enjoy adventure. At the start of the novel, the scene is set in Paris, where the vibrant atmosphere is marked by a parade of soldiers departing for war. Introductions are made between Dick and Buttons, who have formed the Dodge Club, with a humorous discussion about their plans to travel to Italy on a limited budget. The narrative captures their interactions with quirky locals, the challenges of communication, and the comical chaos of raising a crowd in the Place Vendôme. The lively camaraderie of the characters is evident as they make light of the absurdities they face in foreign lands, foreshadowing the whimsical adventures that lie ahead.
