Synopsis

The Younger Set is a novel written by Robert W. Chambers. The story revolves around a group of young socialites in New York City during the early 20th century. The main character, Alec Thayer, is a wealthy young man who is part of this group. He becomes enamored with a woman named Cynthia Meyrick, who is also part of the social circle. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Cynthia is engaged to another man. As the story unfolds, Alec must navigate the complexities of love and social status in order to win Cynthia's heart. Along the way, the reader is introduced to a cast of colorful characters, including other members of the Younger Set and their families. The novel is a portrait of a particular time and place in American history, capturing the glamour and excess of the Gilded Age.1907. Chambers, American artist and writer, later turned to writing romantic fiction to earn a living. According to some estimates, Chambers had one of the most successful literary careers of his period, with a few of his works achieving bestseller status. The story begins: You never met Selwyn, did you? No, sir. Never heard anything definite about his trouble? insisted Gerard. Oh, yes, sir! replied young Erroll. I�������ve heard a good deal about it. Everybody has, you know. Well, I don�������t know, retorted Austin Gerard irritably, what everybody has heard, but I suppose it�������s the usual garbled version made up of distorted fact and malicious gossip. That�������s why I sent for you. Sit down. Gerald Erroll seated himself on the edge of the big, polished table in Austin�������s private office, one leg swinging, an unlighted cigarette between his lips. Austin Gerard, his late guardian, big florid, with that peculiar blue eye which seems to characterize hasty temper, stood by the window, tossing up and catching the glittering gold piece-souvenir of the directors������� meeting which he had just left.

As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters.

We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
