Summary | "Charles Rex" by Ethel M. Dell is a novel likely penned during the early 20th century. The story seems to revolve around the adventurous and somewhat discontented life of Lord Saltash, who is characterized by a restless spirit and a yearning for excitement, as he navigates the social landscapes of Europe aboard his yacht, "The Night Moth". Through his interactions with Captain Larpent and other characters, the narrative introduces themes of recklessness, loyalty, and the search for purpose, hinting at a deeper exploration of human emotions against a backdrop of opulence and adventure. The opening of "Charles Rex" sets the stage with Lord Saltash feeling a sense of ennui after weeks of cruising the Mediterranean, indicating a man who has experienced much yet seeks something more. Following a spirited conversation with his stoic captain, Larpent, Saltash decides to venture into the local town for one last night of revelry. However, this night takes an unexpected turn when he intervenes in an abusive situation involving a young boy named Toby, revealing the complexities of his character—beneath the mask of frivolity lies a capacity for compassion. As he vows to protect Toby from further harm, a bond begins to form that suggests a potential shift in Saltash's playing of the carefree lord, foretelling an evolution in both their characters as the story unfolds.
