Summary "The Triflers" by Frederick Orin Bartlett is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Monte Covington, a wealthy and carefree bachelor who's been seeking thrills and excitement in various locations around Europe for the past ten years. However, as he approaches his thirties, Monte begins to feel a sense of restlessness and isolation, which leads him to reevaluate his lifestyle and relationships, particularly with a woman named Marjory Stockton, who is looking to assert her freedom after a decade of familial obligations. The opening of the book introduces Monte Covington, a charming and affluent man whose life revolves around leisure and social engagements. As he travels through luxurious settings in Europe, Monte becomes increasingly aware of a discontent stirring within him. The narrative captures his experiences, leading to an unexpected encounter with Marjory in Paris, prompting him to reevaluate the emotional void he feels. Their interaction hints at deeper themes of companionship and desire for independence, setting the stage for Monte's struggles with intimacy and commitment against the backdrop of Marjory's quest for autonomy after the death of her controlling aunt. Their connection instigates a turning point in Monte's life, marking the beginning of a complex exploration of love and personal freedom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
