| Summary |
"The Mis-rule of Three" by Florence Warden is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around three young men—Bartlett Bayre, Ted Southerley, and Jan Repton—who share a lodging in a somewhat ramshackle house in London and find themselves embroiled in discussions about women and their futures. As their camaraderie develops, they decide to embark on an adventure to locate Bayre's reclusive uncle, which leads to encounters with mysterious characters and events. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the three main characters living in a cramped rental space, each striving for success in their careers—writing, journalism, and painting. After some lively debate on their differing ideals about women and relationships, the trio resolves to take a trip to the Channel Islands to seek out Bayre’s enigmatic uncle. Their journey begins amidst a backdrop of camaraderie, humor, and the budding interest in a local girl, setting the stage for developments that intertwine their lives with the mysterious past of Bayre's family, and hinting at deeper secrets and evolving relationships that will unfold as the story progresses.
