Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Man and Maid" by Elinor Glyn is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely during the period surrounding World War I. The narrative follows Sir Nicholas Thormonde, a war veteran grappling with the physical and emotional scars left by battle, as he navigates his loneliness and the complexities of human relationships. The story explores themes of love, loss, societal expectations, and the struggles of a man who feels disconnected from the world around him. The opening of the novel introduces us to Nicholas, who reflects on his disfigured appearance and lost sense of identity following his war injuries. Despite his wealth, he feels isolated and contemplates the nature of love and the women who visit him, including a dear friend, Nina, who recently suffered the loss of her husband in the war. Through Nicholas's introspection, we learn about his interactions with several women—each embodying various societal roles and attitudes towards love during wartime. Their discussions reveal the shifting dynamics of relationships and the indifference he feels toward life, suggesting a deeper existential crisis beneath his cynical observations.
