| Summary | "First Person Paramount" by Ambrose Pratt is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows Agar Hume, a talented mimic who becomes a valet to the wealthy and enigmatic Sir William Dagmar. As Agar navigates the challenges of his new position, he uncovers a web of mysteries surrounding Dagmar and his circle of aristocratic friends, all of whom share a peculiar bond tied to their illnesses and a macabre gambling society. The opening of the novel introduces Agar's difficult upbringing and his struggles as he finds himself in London, desperate for work. After securing a position as Sir William's valet, he quickly learns the peculiar habits of his employer, who suffers from consumption. As Agar acclimates to his role, he grows increasingly intrigued by the secretive gatherings of Dagmar and his friends, which involve dark humor and fatal wagers regarding their declining health. The opening chapters set the stage for a deeper exploration of themes such as ambition, morality, and the complexities of human interaction in a society where life and death are treated with morbid levity.
