Summary "The Mask: A Story of Love and Adventure" by Arthur Hornblow is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story revolves around Kenneth Traynor, a successful Wall Street promoter, who embarks on a perilous trip to South Africa to secure a valuable diamond, causing tension between him and his anxious wife, Helen. The narrative delves into themes of love, ambition, and the dangers associated with wealth, setting the stage for a captivating mix of romance and adventure. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Kenneth and Helen Traynor during a breakfast fraught with tension as Kenneth prepares for a trip to South Africa to secure the ownership of a newly discovered diamond. Their conversation reveals Helen’s deep-rooted fears for Kenneth’s safety and their emotional connection, while his excitement about potential wealth contrasts with her anxiety. The atmosphere is further complicated by the presence of their enigmatic fencing master, Signor Keralio, who elicits Helen's disquiet. As the chapter unfolds, it becomes apparent that the high stakes of Kenneth’s journey to fetch the diamond will introduce both external threats and internal conflicts, setting the narrative into motion.
