The Wages of Virtue Produced by Al Haines "The Wages of Virtue" by Percival Christopher Wren is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins by exploring the lives of men in the French Foreign Legion, focusing particularly on Sir Montague Merline. Throughout this tale, themes of duty, love, and identity intertwine with the chaotic and often brutal backdrop of military life, offering a glimpse into the complexities of human relationships amid the dire circumstances of war. The opening of the novel introduces us to Lord Huntingten, Captain Strong, and Sir Montague Merline against the backdrop of an East African safari. Lord Huntingten reveals his growing affection for Lady Merline, creating a tension as he, in turn, grapples with feelings for her that conflict with the loyalty he has towards her husband, Merline. As the party enjoys their time out in Africa, hints of impending trouble arise with the arrival of urgent letters regarding a mutiny, which suggests that their peaceful excursion is about to be abruptly interrupted by the harsh realities of their duties. This tension leads to a profound exploration of personal virtue and the moral dilemmas faced by the characters in the context of both love and duty.
