Summary "Bull-dog Drummond: The Adventures of a Demobilised Officer Who Found Peace Dull" by H. C. McNeile is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily centers around Captain Hugh Drummond, a recently demobilized British officer who finds civilian life dull and longs for excitement, leading him to engage in thrilling escapades involving crime and intrigue. The narrative is set in the aftermath of World War I, where themes of post-war malaise and the quest for adventure are prevalent. At the start of the novel, Drummond is introduced as he peruses various letters from individuals responding to his advertisement seeking diversion, which humorously suggests an interest in crime. His servant, James Denny, assists him in categorizing the myriad responses, prompting some light-hearted banter. One letter, from a woman named Phyllis Benton, piques his interest, leading him to a meeting at the Carlton where she reveals her dangerous situation involving a menacing figure named Henry Lakington. The opening portion establishes Drummond as a charismatic and proactive character, setting the stage for an exciting adventure filled with action, danger, and the prospect of romance.
