"The Compleat Bachelor" by Oliver Onions is a story about a man named Rollo Butterfield who is a bachelor, living in London in the early 1900s. At a tea party at a family member’s house, we get to see Rollo chatting with the other guests. It is clear he is really smart and likes to joke around. He thinks a lot about staying single even though everyone wants him to get married. The story is about love, friendship, and what it means to be single when everyone expects you to get married. The funny talks and Rollo's thoughts help us understand him and the problems he faces, while keeping the story interesting.
