| Summary | "His Lordship's Leopard: A Truthful Narration of Some Impossible Facts" by David Dwight Wells is a humorous novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around an Englishman, Cecil Banborough, who becomes entangled in a series of amusing and chaotic events set against the backdrop of an impending war and a mistaken identity crisis involving Spanish spies. The opening of the novel introduces Cecil Banborough, who finds himself in New York City during a time of political tension and excitement. Discontent with his literary ambitions, he meets two Spanish gentlemen who speak highly of his book, "The Purple Kangaroo," unaware of its connection to a brewing international incident. As the narrative unfolds, Banborough's casual observations lead him to inadvertently become embroiled in a plot involving spies, mistaken arrests, and a comedic chase that sets the stage for further misadventures. The engaging dialogue and quirky characters promise a lighthearted exploration of societal absurdities. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
