"With Edge Tools" by H. C. Chatfield-Taylor is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the intricate lives of socialites in New York and Chicago, exploring themes of class, morality, and interpersonal relationships through the lens of the elite. Key characters such as Duncan Grahame and Marion Sanderson navigate social challenges and romantic entanglements, particularly reflecting on the tensions between personal desires and societal expectations. At the start of the story, the reader is introduced to the exclusive Staten Club in New York, where three friends watch pedestrians struggle with the winter weather outside their window. The conversation reveals their superficial attitudes and the complex social dynamics present in their lives. Following this, we meet Duncan Grahame, who is preparing for a business trip to Chicago while contending with unfulfilled romantic tensions and friendships. The opening sets the stage for exploring the lives of the characters against the backdrop of high society, hinting at potential drama and intrigue as personal conflicts arise.
