| Summary | "Two, by Tricks: A Novel" by Edmund Yates is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to delve into the complexities of social relationships and moral dilemmas, primarily exploring themes of infidelity, personal redemption, and societal judgment. Central characters include Nugent Uffington and Lady Forestfield, who navigate a world of glamour and intrigue while grappling with their past actions and the repercussions of their choices. The opening of the novel is set in the vibrant atmosphere of a London opera house shortly after a prominent social season. It introduces Tom Lydyeard, who observes the shifting dynamics of high society with a critical eye, and Nugent Uffington, a man with a complicated backstory involving love and regret. Their meeting reignites memories of lost connections and past scandals, particularly concerning Uffington's relationship with Lady Forestfield and her betrayal of her husband, Lord Forestfield. The chapter balances lively descriptions of the opera scene with poignant reflections on love, loyalty, and the changes within society, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of personal and social consequences that will follow.
