G. Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century.

Throughout this opening portion, we see her interaction with Mr. Brumley, the house's potential landlord, and her chauffeur, Clarence. The scene is filled with subtle tension as the lady exhibits curiosity about the house while sensing the pressures of her controlling marriage, especially when she accidentally reveals her husband's name and business, stirring complex emotions.
