| 520 | _a"Yes and no, Volume 1 (of 2)" by Marquess of Constantine Henry Phipps Normanby is a novel written in the early 19th century. A satirical tale of manners, it follows two cousins—amiable, approval-seeking Germain and proud, suspicious Oakley—whose diverging paths lead through flirtation, gambling, fashionable circles, and a life-changing inheritance. Their world is peopled by the smooth, self-serving Fitzalbert, the earnest clergyman Mr. Dormer and his artless daughter Fanny, and the reclusive Lord Rockington, whose fortune shifts the balance. The story probes how vanity, fashion, and fear of ridicule steer choices and test character amid the hypocrisies of “the world.” The opening of the novel sets the contrast: at a country inn Germain’s hunger for social approval clashes with Oakley’s cold cynicism, and the friends part. Germain is lured by Fitzalbert to northern moors, where a fog-bound day turns into chicken-hazard with dice shaken in a Sèvres cup, seeding a taste for play; soon after, he awkwardly encounters his old flame Fanny on the beach and, cowed by Fitzalbert’s satirical gaze, beats a guilty retreat. Meanwhile Oakley traverses a deliberately depopulated estate to Rockington Castle, hears his misanthropic uncle recount a rise, public fall, and lifelong hatred of the world, and inherits upon the old man’s death; he dismisses the carousing servants, consults a glib attorney, and broods in solitude. Germain pays a dutiful but cooling call on the Dormers in their cramped lodgings—put off by Fanny’s unpolished realities and her father’s anti-Catholic tirade—then turns toward a country-house gathering at Boreton Park. There, Lady Flamborough plots matrimonial prospects as arrivals (including Germain) promise a mixed party of blues, beauties, and opportunists, setting the stage for further social testing.
