Summary "Moll Davis: A Comedy" by Bernard Capes is a historical fiction work written in the early 20th century. The book is set in 1661, during the Restoration period of England, and follows the vibrant and spirited character of Moll Davis, a young woman entangled in a web of intrigue, romance, and comedy. The narrative revolves around Moll's experiences at "The Mischief" Inn, where she navigates relationships with various characters, including the cavalier George Hamilton and the inn's landlord, while seeking both freedom from her debts and her place in society. The beginning of the story introduces the lively atmosphere of "The Mischief" Inn, a place bustling with travelers and local figures. Moll Davis has just arrived in London, having overstayed her welcome due to her inability to pay for her stay. As she engages in playful banter with the inn's patrons, particularly George Hamilton, it becomes evident that she possesses a charming wit and a cunning nature. Throughout these interactions, the audience gets a glimpse of her vibrant personality and her ambitions, hinting at the comedic and dramatic events that will unfold as she seeks to make her way in a chaotic world filled with allure and danger.
