| Summary | "The Royal End: A Romance" by Henry Harland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in Venice and follows the intricate lives of its main characters, specifically Lucilla Dor and her companion Ruth Adgate, as they encounter a charming man named Bertram and navigate romantic entanglements amid social expectations. As Balzatore, the dog, flits through scenes of flirtation and adventure, themes of admiration, social status, and identity come to the forefront, evoking the challenges of love against a backdrop of societal intrigue. At the start of the novel, the setting is established as Lucilla and Ruth dine at a hotel in Venice, where they unknowingly attract the attention of Bertram and his canine companion, Balzatore. This signals the beginning of a romantic entanglement fueled by misunderstandings and societal norms. As the characters interact against the enchanting backdrop of the city, the narrative delves into their personalities, exploring Lucilla's flirtatiousness and Ruth's contrasting reserve. Their evening takes a turn when they find themselves stranded on the Lido, ultimately leading to Bertram's gallant intervention. The opening sets a tone rich with fascination and sharp social commentary as the characters' complexities begin to intertwine. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
