Charles Keller and David Widger "The Lion and the Unicorn" by Richard Harding Davis is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in London and revolves around the experiences of various characters, including Captain Carrington and an American lodger named Philip Carroll, as they navigate personal and social struggles amidst a backdrop of war and romance. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Prentiss, a British florist, whose shop displays a lion and unicorn symbolizing British heraldry. The narrative moves through Prentiss’s observations of his patrons, touching upon Captain Carrington's departure for war and the arrival of the American lodger, Philip Carroll, who seeks success as a playwright. As Philip engages with visitors and interacts with various women, including the enchanting Marion Cavendish and the determined Helen Cabot, the groundwork is laid for themes of love, ambition, and the complexities of relationships in the vibrant setting of early 20th-century London. The opening sets a reflective tone that hints at deeper emotional connections and aspirations that will develop throughout the story.
