520			_a"Adrien Leroy" by Charles Garvice is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Adrien Leroy, a prominent figure in fashionable society, who is known for his wealth and charm. The opening chapters introduce a world of elite social gatherings, intertwined relationships, and hints of intrigue, particularly surrounding the enigmatic Jasper Vermont, Leroy's friend who appears to have a significant influence over him. At the start of the novel, the atmosphere is set on a cold spring night in London, where Leroy's friends are waiting for him at a posh club. We meet Lord Standon, Mortimer Shelton, and Frank Parselle, who discuss Leroy's notorious tardiness and the impact of Jasper Vermont on their friend. As the group reflects on their separate lives and the relationships they navigate, particularly with women like Ada Lester, the narrative hints at deeper tensions and rivalries. Leroy's character emerges as affable yet somewhat aloof, with complex loyalties, especially regarding Vermont—whose underlying motives seem suspect. The opening lays the groundwork for a story of romance, rivalry, and the struggle for personal integrity amid societal pressures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
