| Summary | "Lot & Company" by Will Levington Comfort is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces a central character, Bellair, who navigates the complexities of life in New York City, grappling with his mundane job at a printing firm, Lot & Company, and his longing for adventure, as ignited by his fascination with a sailing ship, the "Jade of Adelaide". The book explores themes of personal significance versus societal expectations, as well as the yearning for a life filled with passion and depth. The opening of the story reveals Bellair's existential struggle amidst the monotonous backdrop of his daily life, which is starkly contrasted by his encounter with the "Jade". On a seemingly uneventful Sunday, he is stirred by a beautiful ship departing the harbor, sparking a deep longing for freedom and adventure. This moment catalyzes his introspection about his insignificance and the unfulfilled potential he feels, which has led him to view his life and relationships through a lens of quiet discontent. The narrative continues to shift between Bellair's internal experiences and his interactions with various characters within the Lot & Company establishment, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his desires and the moral quandaries of his work environment.
