Summary: "Felix O'Day" by Francis Hopkinson Smith is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book introduces readers to its titular character, Felix O'Day, who appears to be a gentleman in precarious circumstances, navigating the vibrant yet harsh life of New York City. As the story unfolds, it explores themes of survival, identity, and the human connection amid the challenges faced by those in lower socio-economic strata. The opening of "Felix O'Day" sets the scene during a rainy night on Broadway, describing the city as filled with dazzling lights and busy crowds, while hinting at the darker undercurrents of urban life. Felix, depicted as a gentleman lost in thought, observes the scene from outside a theater, highlighting his feeling of alienation despite his refined appearance.

Eventually, he seeks assistance at a pawn shop where he offers a luxurious dressing case as collateral, introducing tension about his financial woes. The narrative hints at Felix’s troubled past and sets the stage for his interactions with various characters, indicating a journey of both self-discovery and the rediscovery of human kindness as he seeks to redefine his life in a new city.
