Summary "Fordham's Feud" by Bertram Mitford is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the picturesque setting of Switzerland, particularly on Lake Leman, and introduces two main characters: Philip Orlebar, a charming and affable young man, and Richard Fordham, his older, cynical companion. The narrative hints at themes of adventure, romance, and social commentary against a backdrop of a leisurely tourist season. The opening of the novel begins with a vivid description of the steamer "Mont Blanc" as it navigates the stunning Swiss landscape, filled with joyous passengers. Philip and Fordham are introduced as they embark on their journey, filled with humorous banter and hints at budding romantic interests. Philip’s attention is drawn to a mysterious girl aboard the steamer, but his clumsy attempts to engage her only lead to comic embarrassment. As they arrive at their landing, Fordham — known for his acerbic wit — takes a skeptical view of the romantic escapades that Philip seems to pursue. This initial chapter sets the tone for the friendships, rivalries, and possible love interests that promise to evolve as the characters continue their journey in the mountains.
