The Blunders of a Bashful Man Produced by Mark C. Orton, Linda McKeown, Sankar Viswanathan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Blunders of a Bashful Man" by Metta Victoria Fuller Victor is a humorous novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows John Flutter, a painfully bashful young man who constantly finds himself in awkward and embarrassing situations due to his extreme shyness. The story unfolds through a series of events that highlight his misadventures, particularly in social settings and romantic pursuits. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to John's struggles with his bashfulness as he prepares to attend a picnic. His anxiety is palpable, and despite his sincere desire for companionship—especially with the charming Belle Marigold—his clumsy attempts at social interaction lead to a series of mishaps, from falling while assisting Belle to accidentally plunging into a pond. As we see John's life unfold in Babbletown, the opening portion sets the stage for both comedic and relatable explorations of anxiety and romantic longing, as he deals with the consequences of his social faux pas and laments his inability to connect with others comfortably.
