Produced by Woodie4, Suzanne Shell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Cupid's Middleman" by Edward B. Lent is a comedic novel likely written in the early 20th century. It revolves around the character Benjamin Hopkins, who acts as a self-styled "Cupid's middleman" in his friend Jim Hosley's love life. The story mixes humor with themes of romance, social commentary, and the complexities of relationships. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Benjamin and Jim, two bachelors living together in New York City. Benjamin reminisces about his previous attempts at matchmaking for Jim, which often resulted in humorous troubles rather than romantic successes. Their conversation reveals Jim's current predicament regarding his love interest, Gabrielle Tescheron, whose father disapproves of Jim due to their age difference. The dialogue is rich with witty banter and hints at the challenges Benjamin will face in trying to navigate the complexities of love, especially when odd circumstances surrounding the Tescheron family start to unfold. The opening sets the tone for a playful exploration of love and societal expectations, as well as the antics that ensue when friends meddle in one another's romantic affairs.
