Davenport Dunn, a Man of Our Day. Volume 2 (of 2)

In the drawing‑room of a Regency estate, Davenport Dunn finds his pulse racing as he confronts the clever Lady Augusta Arden, whose sharp wit matches his own restless ambition. Their banter over a sealed telegraphic dispatch—read, half‑concealed—reveals a man torn between genteel propriety and a yearning for a more daring destiny. As Lady Augusta teases him for his perceived selfishness, Dunn’s earnest clumsy attempts at charm hint at the comic misadventures that lie ahead.

Set against a backdrop of balls, country estates, and a scattering of European locales, the novel follows Dunn as he juggles familial expectations, a rival suitor, and his own impulsive schemes. With a cast of companions—from the enigmatic Lord Glengariff to the earnest Annsey Beecher—each encounter adds a layer of humor and unexpected insight into the eccentricities of high society. Listeners can expect a lively blend of satire, romance, and the occasional narrow escape, all narrated with the witty voice that makes Dunn both a product of his time and an unforgettable rogue.
