A Gentleman In Waiting is a novel written by Cornelius V. V. Sewell and published in 1899. The story revolves around the character of John Temple, a young man who is employed as a gentleman in waiting to the Duke of Bletchley. John is a hard-working and dedicated employee who takes his duties seriously, but he also has a strong desire to better himself and move up in society. As the story progresses, John finds himself caught up in a web of intrigue and scandal that threatens to destroy his reputation and his career. He becomes embroiled in a love triangle with two women, one of whom is the Duke's daughter, and he must navigate his way through the complicated social and political landscape of Victorian England in order to protect his position and his honor.Throughout the novel, Sewell explores themes of class, ambition, love, and loyalty, painting a vivid portrait of life in the upper echelons of British society at the turn of the 20th century. A Gentleman In Waiting is a compelling and engaging read that offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
