Summary | "Mrs. Fitz" by J. C. Snaith is a novel written in the early 20th century. It revolves around the intrigues and social dynamics within the Crackanthorpe Hunt, with a focus on the character of Mrs. Nevil Fitzwaren, a controversial figure disliked by many in the local gentry due to her unconventional background and behavior. The narrative starts amidst drama related to an assassination attempt on a foreign king, intertwining themes of social class, public decency, and the complexities of personal relationships. The opening of the story establishes a humorous and engaging atmosphere as characters engage in witty banter while discussing the recent bomb attack on the King of Illyria. Mrs. Arbuthnot, reminiscent of a savvy matriarch, expresses concern for the king, while her husband and others poke fun at their own social observations and frustrations about life in the British countryside, particularly focusing on the figure of Mrs. Fitz. The scene reveals underlying tensions about her place in society, setting up inquiries into her character alongside entertaining anecdotes of the Hunt and its members. This juxtaposition of high-stakes royal intrigue with the trivialities of local gossip hints at deeper societal themes that unfold throughout the novel.
