Summary "Parson Kelly" by A. E. W. Mason and Andrew Lang is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the early 18th century, the story revolves around the titular character, Parson Kelly, and his entanglements in a plot supporting the Jacobite cause during a time of political intrigue in England and France. The narrative hints at themes of loyalty, friendship, and the blend of lowly affairs with grand conspiracies. The opening of the book introduces us to Nicholas Wogan, a retired colonel involved in plotting for King James's cause, and his lively friend, Parson Kelly, who often finds himself in humorous yet precarious situations. Their fates intertwine as they navigate the snowy streets of Paris, where Wogan energetically meets Kelly amid some bickering about their secrets and political affairs. The dialogue showcases their camaraderie, revealing their contrasting personalities—Wogan with his boldness and joviality, and Kelly displaying a kind of cautious prudence. As they discuss their endeavors and the nature of their business, the stage is set for an engaging, character-driven exploration of their adventures and the elaborate schemes that unfold, accompanied by satirical humor and keen observations of societal norms.
