** "The Under-Secretary" by William Le Queux is a political story set in the atmosphere of early 20th century London. It follows Dudley Waldegrave Chisholm, a driven Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, as he juggles British politics and personal connections. The story hints to ambition, love, and public versus private life through Chisholm, who is presented as a charismatic speaker praised for his defense of government policies. Political tensions arise, especially around foreign relations, and the pressures of public life impact Chisholm. He grapples with fame, social expectations, and romantic relationships, like the one with Claudia Nevill, creating a setting to explore power dynamics in politics and personal lives. **
