| Summary | "Lady Larkspur" by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story captures the theatrical world and the complexities of human relationships centered around a young playwright, Dick Searles, who is in search of a lost muse for his play. As he recounts his struggles with a mysterious actress named Violet Dewing, the narrative introduces Bob Singleton, the protagonist, who embarks on a quieter life at his uncle's estate while grappling with the unexpected arrival of his late uncle's widow. The opening of the novel establishes a lively conversation between Searles and Singleton, where Searles expresses his deep admiration for Violet Dewing, an actress whose sudden disappearance has left him disheartened. Bob, newly returned from the war and disillusioned by the pressures of civilian life, learns of his uncle's passing and the intriguing widow he has left behind, Alice Bashford, who quickly becomes a central figure in the story. As Bob navigates his feelings towards Alice, the setting shifts to the estate where old servants maintain loyalty to Bob, hinting at underlying tensions and potential conflicts as the state of affairs unfolds, particularly concerning a mysterious visitor interested in Alice. The stage is set for a blend of comedy, romance, and intrigue, suggesting that relationships and aspirations may be tested in the face of unexpected challenges.
