About this eBook

Author Merriman, Henry Seton, 1862-1903
Title With Edged Tools
Credits Produced by Les Bowler, and David Widger
Summary "With Edged Tools" by Henry Seton Merriman is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. Set against a backdrop of societal commentary, romance, and personal conflict, it follows the intertwining lives of characters within an upper-class London setting, particularly focusing on Jack Meredith and Millicent Chyne as they navigate societal expectations and familial pressures. At the start of the book, two characters, Sir John Meredith and Lady Cantourne, engage in conversation at a grand ball, observing the social dynamics and their implications for the young people gathered, particularly the charming Millicent Chyne and the rugged Guy Oscard. The narrative introduces themes of generational differences in ideals, with Sir John embodying cynicism of the past while watching his son navigate the expectations of modern society. Tensions arise regarding Jack's courtship of Millicent, especially his father's disapproval, setting the stage for further exploration of ambition, romance, and the impacts of inherited values. The opening establishes a rich environment for character development and the exploration of love against the rigid structures of their world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
