| Summary | "Eene schitterende 'carrière'" by Jan ten Brink is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The story appears to focus on the life and pursuits of the protagonist, Mr. André de Witt, as well as his interactions with the De Milde family and various other characters in The Hague. Central themes likely include societal expectations, familial dynamics, and the personal ambitions of the main characters amidst the settings of Dutch life. The opening of "Eene schitterende 'carrière'" sets the scene on a hot August afternoon in 1853, where the elderly Mr. De Milde and his three daughters, Kee, Jans, and Willemien, embark on a leisurely walk through a tree-lined avenue, seeking respite from the heat. Their destination is a sociëteit tent, where they plan to indulge in the pleasures of a summer outing. The daughters engage in lively commentary about the passing crowd, demonstrating their keen interest in social status and appearances. Just as they settle down at their table, the arrival of their friend, Mr. André de Witt, introduces a dynamic element to their gathering, hinting at budding relationships and future developments. This initial glimpse reveals a blend of social commentary and personal narratives, setting the stage for the complex interplay of ambition and romance that is likely to unfold.
