N2  - "The Angel of Pain" by E. F. Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a lush summer garden and centers around Philip Home, a successful man often perceived as brusque and unsympathetic, yet who reveals a more intimate side with a close circle of friends and family. The narrative explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the complex dynamics of relationships against a backdrop of nature and beauty.  The opening of the novel depicts a serene summer afternoon, where Philip is in his meticulously cultivated garden, reflecting on his prosperous life and the love he feels for Madge Ellington. His interactions with his mother, Mrs. Home, provide insights into his character and hints at his emotional depth. As they discuss their guests, including the enigmatic Hermit and artistic Evelyn Dundas, both characters become evocative representatives of different lifestyles and philosophies. The scene is painted vividly with rich descriptions of flowers, the warm atmosphere, and intellectual banter, setting the stage for the unfolding relationships and tensions among the characters throughout the story.
