Summary "Old Mole" by Gilbert Cannan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Herbert Jocelyn Beenham, referred to as "Old Mole," an unambitious schoolmaster at the Thrigsby Grammar School who leads a monotonous life. His world is shaken when a misunderstanding leads to a scandal that forces him to leave his position, ultimately setting him on a path of self-discovery and unexpected adventures. The opening of "Old Mole" introduces us to H. J. Beenham, a schoolmaster who has dedicated twenty-five years to Thrigsby but is well aware of his own lack of ambition and the limited reach of his life. His routine existence is abruptly derailed when he is accused of assaulting a young woman, Matilda Burn, on a train. Despite his genuine intentions to comfort her, Beenham's actions are misconstrued, leading to public humiliation and the possibility of losing everything he has known. The chapter sets the tone for his transition from the confines of an academic life to the chaos and uncharacteristic adventures of the theater world, where he encounters Matilda again and becomes entwined in her aspirations. This unexpected turn catalyzes a series of events that challenge both his identity and beliefs, pushing him into a new life filled with unpredictability. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
