| Summary | "Between the Dark and the Daylight" by Richard Marsh is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds through a series of stories featuring unique characters and engaging situations, exploring themes of social interactions and the unpredictability of human nature. The book introduces various characters, including an aunt on an excursion, her hapless nephew, and an assortment of diverse companions, suggesting a whimsical exploration of their escapades in London. The opening of the novel presents a comical excursion led by the narrator's aunt, who unexpectedly visits him with nine companions from Cornwall. As they plan their day of sightseeing, a series of humorous interactions reveals the eccentricities and quirks of each character, such as a "parish idiot," a converted drunkard, and a curious make-shift tour guide intent on blending education with entertainment. The chaos of managing the mismatched group and the aunt's misguided sense of adventure sets the tone for a light-hearted examination of their adventures in the bustling city, hinting at further misadventures to come.
