Fairly easy to read. Produced by David Widger "A Gentleman's Gentleman" by Francis Hopkinson Smith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against a backdrop of English social life and the experiences of Americans in England, focusing on themes of class and social status. It captures the interactions and observations of a group of friends, particularly relating to the behaviors and attitudes of the wealthy. The plot revolves around a trio of Americans—Sandy MacWhirter, a painter; Lonnegan, an architect; and the narrator—who find themselves in England during one summer. Through their humorous and often critical discussions, they reflect on their perceptions of British society compared to American ideals, particularly concerning wealth and class hierarchy. The arrival of Samuel Lambert, a millionaire, and his companion Tommy Wing highlights the absurdities of social pretensions and the contrasts between genuine character and status-driven behavior. As the characters navigate their relationships and encounters with both locals and the wealthy elite, Smith cleverly illustrates the social dynamics at play, ultimately leading to the realization that true worth is often lost amidst outward appearances.
