| Summary | "Noodlot" by Louis Couperus is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Frank Westhove, who on a snowy evening encounters his old friend Bertie, who has fallen into destitution. The reunion evokes a past filled with warmth and companionship, as Bertie seeks Frank's help in his time of need, showcasing themes of friendship, social status, and the impact of one's past on their present circumstances. The opening of the novel introduces Frank as he walks through the snow and unexpectedly meets Bertie, who has arrived in London without money and in desperate need of assistance. As the two reminisce about their youthful bond, Frank offers Bertie shelter and a meal, highlighting the class differences and Bertie's previous life of privilege that has now crumbled. The initial interactions set the stage for exploring complex relationships amidst the backdrop of societal pressures, as Frank grapples with the implications of aiding Bertie while reflecting on their shared history, foreshadowing an intertwining of their destinies that may lead to unforeseen consequences.
