"A Charming Fellow, Volume I" by Frances Eleanor Trollope is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Algernon Errington, a young man with a flair for life and a renowned mother, Mrs. Errington, who has high expectations for his future. Set against a backdrop of social aspirations and family dynamics, the narrative explores themes of ambition, societal status, and the complexity of youth. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mrs. Errington, who is in conversation with Matthew Diamond, the tutor of her son Algernon. She expresses her belief that Algernon's potential is not understood by Dr. Bodkin and discusses a lucrative job offer from a merchant that she thinks is beneath her son's aspirations. As they converse, Mrs. Errington reveals her aspirations for Algernon, including a potential opportunity to gain favor with Lord Seely, a nobleman linked to her family, which adds tension to the plot. Through their dialogue and the description of their domestic setting, we gain initial insights into the characters' motivations and the societal challenges they face.
