"Children of Men" by Eden Phillpotts is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to revolve around life on the Dartmoor, exploring themes of love, duty, and the moral evolution of humanity. The main characters include Jacob Bullstone and Margery Huxam, who navigate their burgeoning romance amidst familial expectations and personal introspections. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Jacob Bullstone, an earnest dog breeder, and his beloved kennel-maid, Margery Huxam, who is on the verge of leaving her post to marry him. Their courtship is characterized by a respectful admiration for each other, despite a fifteen-year age gap. As their families prepare to come together for a dinner celebrating their betrothal, the atmosphere is filled with both love and tension, particularly from Margery's mother, who harbors concerns about the match. The scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of Dartmoor, adding depth to the characters' emotional journeys and the societal norms they must navigate.
