| Summary | "Kathleen" by Christopher Morley is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It centers around a group of Oxford undergraduates, particularly focusing on Kenneth Forbes and their whimsical literary society, the Scorpions, as they create a serial story together inspired by a lost letter from a girl named Kathleen. The narrative promises a blend of humor, charm, and romantic intrigue as the characters become enamored with the imagined Kathleen and embark on a lighthearted quest to discover her in real life. The opening of "Kathleen" introduces us to Kenneth Forbes, who is under the pressure of completing the first chapter of a serial story for his literary society as their meeting approaches. His richly described Oxford room sets a quaint academic mood, filled with the atmosphere of camaraderie among the Scorpions. As the evening unfolds, Forbes is joined by features of their group, leading to playful banter and discussions about their story's characters, specifically the delightful Kathleen mentioned in a letter he discovered. Their plan to build a narrative around her inspires a humorous obsession, manifesting as they collectively decide to seek her out, leading the reader into a tale of friendship, creativity, and youthful ambition.
