Transcribed from the 1903 Longmans, Green, and Co. edition by David Price "The Disentanglers" by Andrew Lang is a comedic novel written in the early 20th century. The story engages with themes surrounding social entanglements, particularly those related to romantic relationships and familial expectations. The main characters, Merton and Logan, are young men in search of a solution to their financial troubles, leading them to concoct a unique idea that involves mediating love interests to prevent familial clashes over unsuitable marriages. At the start of the novel, the two protagonists find themselves in a shabby room, lamenting their bleak prospects. Their discussions reveal their frustrations about love and society's expectations, paving the way for Merton to propose a rather eccentric plan: the creation of a service that provides "disentanglers" to help individuals navigate familial objections to their romantic choices. This clever and humorous setup provides a satirical look at societal norms regarding marriage and relationships, setting the tone for the unfolding adventures of Merton and Logan as they embark on this unusual business venture.
