Summary "The Compleat Bachelor" by Oliver Onions is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Rollo Butterfield, a reflective bachelor navigating the social intricacies and romantic entanglements of his life in London, particularly his interactions with women and the challenges posed by societal expectations of marriage and companionship. The opening of the book introduces Rollo in a lively tea gathering hosted by a family member, Caroline, where the conversation flits between playful banter and subtle revelations about relationships. Rollo’s wit and keen observations set the tone, as he engages with the women around him while reflecting on his status as a confirmed bachelor. Through humorous dialogue and Rollo's internal monologue, we see his relationships with friends and family, hinting at deeper themes regarding the complexities of love, friendship, and the idea of remaining single in a society that values marriage. This lively beginning establishes Rollo as an endearing and thoughtful character, positioning readers to explore his journey further. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
