Summary "Bealby; A Holiday" by H. G. Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young boy named Bealby, the stepson of a gardener, who is reluctantly thrust into the world of domestic service at a grand estate called Shonts. The narrative explores Bealby's aversion to becoming a servant and the chaotic experiences he faces as he grapples with his new role while holding onto a rebellious spirit. The opening portion of the book presents Bealby's resistance to the idea of becoming a steward's boy at Shonts, revealing his strong sense of independence and disdain for servitude. Despite his mother's insistence and his father's expectations, Bealby expresses his desire to escape the confines of this predetermined path. As he arrives at the estate, he is confronted with a host of new responsibilities and characters that only deepen his resentment towards his situation. The initial chapters set the stage for Bealby's emotional turmoil, foreshadowing the humorous and tumultuous adventures that will ensue as he navigates his role among the upper servants and the guests at the estate.
