| Summary | "The Love of Monsieur" by George Gibbs is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a historical context, revolving around themes of nobility, rivalry, and love against the backdrop of 17th-century England and France. The novel follows the character Monsieur Mornay, a French chevalier entangled in a web of political intrigue and romantic complications, particularly involving Mistress Barbara Clerke. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Monsieur Mornay's controversial reputation as a charming yet reckless figure who often finds himself at the center of conflict and competition between various English gentlemen. As he engages in dialogue with Captain Cornbury and others at the Fleece Tavern, we see Mornay's conflicting persona as both a daring adventurer and a man burdened by his past. The narrative captures the tension between characters and hints at Mornay’s complicated relationship with Mistress Barbara Clerke, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of love and jealousy intertwined with themes of class and honor.
