Mills Young, Florence Ethel Mills Coelebs: The Love Story of a Bachelor Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Coelebs: The Love Story of a Bachelor" by F. E. Mills Young is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around John Musgrave, a confirmed bachelor who is deeply entrenched in his solitary domestic life and the local parish community of Moresby. As he navigates his interactions with various characters—including the respectable but plain housemaid Eliza, and the modern and progressive Mrs. Chadwick—Musgrave grapples with societal expectations, the nature of companionship, and his own aversion to change. The opening of the novel introduces John Musgrave as he thoughtfully engages with the dynamics of his household and reflects on his solitude. We see a glimpse of his character as he engages with Eliza, observing her quirks, and we learn about his deep sense of loss following his sister's marriage that further isolates him. Musgrave's conversation with the vicar illuminates his apprehensions regarding relationships, particularly with women, highlighting that he has never been in love. As Mrs. Chadwick enters the narrative with her modern ideas and assertive nature, Musgrave begins to face challenges to his well-ordered life, hinting at the transformation that may await him as the story unfolds.
