The story centers around the themes of love and ambition, particularly highlighted through the character of Harry Sterling, who navigates a complex social environment upon his return to a familiar setting. The initial chapters introduce budding relationships and complications, particularly as Harry becomes romantically entangled with Mrs. Mortimer, a more experienced woman, which indicates a humorous and possibly dramatic exploration of romantic pursuits. The opening of "Frivolous Cupid" sets the stage in the idyllic village of Natterley, where the return of Harry Sterling is a significant event that stirs local interest, especially among his old acquaintances. We see Harry's interactions with various characters, including the nervously flirtatious Mrs. Mortimer, as he attempts to blend his youthful charm with the expectations of his newfound social status. As the narrative unfolds, the tension between attraction and propriety emerges, hinting at the comedic and poignant themes that will develop throughout the novel. The relationships and character dynamics laid out in these early chapters promise a light-hearted yet earnest journey through love's complexities.
