Summary: "The Slave of the Lamp" by Henry Seton Merriman is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story introduces us to various characters in Paris and London, exploring themes of ambition, societal dynamics, and the complexities of personal relationships. The book seems to weave a tale centered around the character Christian Vellacott, who appears to navigate the pressures of his family life and the expectations placed upon him while dealing with the changes in his circle of friends. The opening of the book sets the stage in Paris, specifically in the Rue St. Gingolphe, where we are introduced to a tobacconist named Mr. Jacquetot and a mysterious man who engages him in conversation. This scene hints at deeper intrigues, possibly tied to the political upheaval and societal tensions of the time. The narrative swiftly transitions to the bustling atmosphere of London, where we meet Christian Vellacott, who is burdened by his responsibilities to his elderly aunts while striving for his own aspirations. As the story develops, it promises to explore Christian's interactions, particularly with the Carew family and the emotional turmoil surrounding Hilda Carew's engagement, setting up a conflict between his personal desires and familial obligations.
