| Summary | "The Vultures" by Henry Seton Merriman is a novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative begins with Mr. Joseph P. Mangles, a diplomat, and Mr. Reginald Cartoner, a man with a quiet demeanor, aboard an ocean liner. Their lives start to entangle amidst the backdrop of a voyage across the Atlantic, setting the stage for them to explore complex relationships, both personal and professional, against the impending chaos of a political landscape shaping their futures. At the start of the story, Mr. Mangles exhibits a gruff and somewhat cynical view, particularly about the prospect of women coming on deck as the weather improves. He is accompanied by his niece, Miss Netty Cahere, who contrasts with Mangles' demeanor with her gentle sympathy towards others. Cartoner, the man Mangles engages in conversation, appears introspective and detached, eliciting intrigue among fellow passengers. The narrative quickly establishes their backgrounds, hinting at deeper histories and potential connections as they are drawn into a world of political intrigue that unfolds beyond the ship. These opening interactions lay the groundwork for exploring themes of ambition, relationships, and the subtle currents of diplomacy that will impact their lives throughout the novel.
