H. G. Wells
Dunstone's Dear Lady
Summary
"Dunstone's Dear Lady" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.
The story of Dunstone is so slight, so trivial in its cardinal incidents, such a business of cheap feathers and bits of ribbon on the surface, that I should hesitate to tell it, were it not for its Inwardness, what one might call the symbolism of the thing. Frankly, I do not clearly see what that symbolism is, but I feel it hovering in some indefinable way whenever I recall his case.
