Summary "Lyre and Lancet: A Story in Scenes" by F. Anstey is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a contemporary English setting and revolves around the social intrigues of an aristocratic household, focusing on characters like Sir Rupert Culverin and his interactions with family and guests, including a poet named Clarion Blair. The opening of the novel introduces us to Sir Rupert Culverin in his study as rain falls on a Saturday morning. Lady Culverin enters, expressing concern about their guests and discussing the awkwardness of seating arrangements, particularly regarding her strong-minded sister-in-law, Rohesia, and a poet she has invited. Amidst the banter about social expectations and personalities, it becomes clear that the arrival of the poet, who carries a sense of intrigue and potential conflict, sets the stage for the unfolding drama at Wyvern Court, where various characters are brought together, possibly leading to unexpected complications and comedic situations. The narrative hints at themes of societal roles, personal identity, and the clash of different worldviews within a seemingly genteel setting. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
