| Summary | "In Accordance with the Evidence" by Oliver Onions is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of Edwardian London and follows the life of the main character, Jeffries, as he reflects on his past and his complex feelings towards a young woman named Evie Soames. Through Jeffries' memories, readers are exposed to themes of ambition, social class, and the painful intricacies of love and envy. At the start of the narrative, Jeffries reminisces about his humble beginnings and his days spent at a business college alongside Archie Merridew, a more fortunate peer. The juxtaposition of their lives fuels Jeffries' feelings of inadequacy and resentment, especially as he becomes infatuated with Evie, a fellow student. As Jeffries grapples with his emotions, the narrative foreshadows the tensions that arise from his unrequited love and jealousy towards Archie, who seems to effortlessly charm those around him, including Evie. The opening sets the stage for a story that intertwines personal struggle with broader societal themes, inviting readers to explore the depths of human emotion and ambition.
