Summary "The London Visitor" by Mary Russell Mitford is a humorous short narrative written during the early 19th century. The book centers around the experiences of a befuddled narrator who grapples with the peculiarities of social interactions and the eccentricities of a peculiar guest, Mr. Thompson, who embodies the quintessential London visitor. The story unfolds as the narrator recounts her encounters with Mr. Thompson, an enigmatic gentleman who appears to be identical in manner and appearance to multiple other men named Thompson. As she navigates social gatherings in Berkshire, she becomes increasingly perplexed by the uncanny similarities between these various Thompsons, each exhibiting similar conversation styles and behaviors, all while being remarkably unremarkable. The narrative conveys not only the humor of mistaken identities and social requirements but also reflects on the intricacies of class and society in a lighthearted manner, while poking fun at the conventions surrounding visitors from London.
