Dutch the Diver; Or, A Man's Mistake by George Manville Fenn
"Dutch the Diver; Or, A Man's Mistake" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set in a bustling seaside town, the story revolves around Dutch Pugh, a young man engaged in the dangerous profession of underwater diving, and his complex relationships with his wife Hester, his employer Mr. Parkley, and a mysterious Cuban visitor named Senor Manuel Laure. Themes of jealousy, ambition, and the struggle between
personal and professional life start to emerge as the narrative unfolds. The opening of the novel introduces Dutch Pugh in his office, engaged in discussions with Rasp, an old diver who saved his life. Their banter provides insight into their personalities and the work they do, while simultaneously setting the tone for Dutch's forthcoming challenges. As Dutch contemplates his career prospects and his employer's admiration for him, he becomes increasingly aware of the uncertainties and emotional strains in his domestic life, particularly with the arrival of the charming and somewhat threatening Laure. Tensions rise as suspicions of infidelity and rivalry brew, foreshadowing conflicts that will unfold as Dutch grapples with his ambitions and the fears that loom over his marriage.
