The Younger Set is a novel written by Robert W. Chambers. The story revolves around a group of young socialites in New York City during the early 20th century. The main character, Alec Thayer, is a wealthy young man who is part of this group. He becomes enamored with a woman named Cynthia Meyrick, who is also part of the social circle. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Cynthia is engaged to another man. As the story unfolds, Alec must navigate the complexities of love and social status in order to win Cynthia's heart. Along the way, the reader is introduced to a cast of colorful characters, including other members of the Younger Set and their families. The novel is a portrait of a particular time and place in American history, capturing the glamour and excess of the Gilded Age.1907. Chambers, American artist and writer, later turned to writing romantic fiction to earn a living. According to some estimates, Chambers had one of the most successful literary careers of his period, with a few of his works achieving bestseller status. The story begins: You never met Selwyn, did you? No, sir. Never heard anything definite about his trouble? insisted Gerard. Oh, yes, sir! replied young Erroll. I�������ve heard a good deal about it. Everybody has, you know. Well, I don�������t know, retorted Austin Gerard irritably, what everybody has heard, but I suppose it�������s the usual garbled version made up of distorted fact and malicious gossip. That�������s why I sent for you. Sit down. Gerald Erroll seated himself on the edge of the big, polished table in Austin�������s private office, one leg swinging, an unlighted cigarette between his lips. Austin Gerard, his late guardian, big florid, with that peculiar blue eye which seems to characterize hasty temper, stood by the window, tossing up and catching the glittering gold piece-souvenir of the directors������� meeting which he had just left.
