| 520 | _a"The Definite Object: A Romance of New York" by Jeffery Farnol is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Geoffrey Ravenslee, a disillusioned millionaire seeking purpose and meaning in life amidst the bustle of New York City. His journey is intertwined with a cast of characters, including the comedic butler Mr. Brimberly and a young street urchin named Spike, as they navigate various social strata and relationships in the city. At the start of the novel, we meet Mr. Brimberly, the affable butler, who introduces us to the opulent world of Geoffrey Ravenslee. As Ravenslee languishes in the large mansion filled with wealth yet devoid of satisfaction, he contemplates his empty existence on the eve of his thirty-fifth birthday. The narrative quickly shifts focus to a comically inept burglary attempt by Spike, leading to a burgeoning friendship as Ravenslee decides to step out of his gilded cage. His quest for an object—both literal and metaphorical—drives the story, leading him to Hell's Kitchen and a range of characters that embody the vibrant, often gritty life of early 20th-century New York.
