Summary "Running the Gauntlet: A Novel" by Edmund Yates is a fiction work written in the late 19th century. The story appears to delve into themes of social intrigue, the life of law practitioners, and personal struggles within the high society of London, focusing on characters such as Edward Moss, a lawyer dealing with morally questionable clients, and the various individuals who navigate through these interconnected lives. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Moss and Moss, a legal firm notable for its unorthodox clientele, which includes criminals and various shady figures. The narrative explores Edward Moss's unique approach to his work, particularly his exclusive focus on serious criminal cases, contrasting sharply with his brother Marshall's more glamorous social life. As the chapter unfolds, we meet Inspector Stellfox, who brings news of various cases, hinting at a larger web of criminal activities and social dynamics. Through the introduction of characters like Sir Charles Mitford and Lady Mitford, the stage is set for unfolding romantic and societal dramas that hint at deeper societal critiques while maintaining a lively tone infused with wit and observations on the era's values.
