J. Randall is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around George Early, a clerk working for a firm that deals in ironmongery, who becomes entangled in humorous and somewhat absurd situations as he navigates his ambitions in the workplace and personal relationships. The narrative reflects themes of ambition, morality, and the peculiarities of human behavior, particularly through George's interactions with his colleagues. At the start of the book, we are introduced to George Early's world at Fairbrother and Co., a relaxed office environment where George often finds himself daydreaming of promotion and fortune, especially with the aging head of the firm, Old Joe Fairbrother, rumored to be nearing his end. He overhears a private conversation in which Old Joe discusses legacy arrangements with his head clerk, Parrott, which sparks George's imagination about potential wealth. The opening segment lays the foundation for George's adventures, highlighting his lackadaisical attitude at work and his eagerness to climb the social ladder, setting the stage for the comedic twists and moral dilemmas that will ensue.
