| Summary | "Passing By" by Maurice Baring is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Godfrey Mellor, who provides a glimpse into his life and the people around him through diary entries. Set against a backdrop of early 1900s London, the narrative explores themes of relationships, social interactions, and the nuances of human affection, particularly focusing on the enigmatic Mrs. Housman. At the start of the novel, Godfrey Mellor begins documenting his experiences as he observes his acquaintances, notably the Housmans, who are preparing to return from Egypt. The opening passages introduce a cast of intriguing characters who converge at various gatherings, including a housewarming party where Mrs. Housman’s musical talent is admired. Godfrey reflects on social dynamics, his silent but acute observations of relationships, and budding affections, particularly concerning Mrs. Housman, whose beauty and talent leave a lasting impression. The tone is both observational and intimate, setting the stage for deeper explorations of love and social intricacies in a time marked by class and artistic engagement.
