"Pelham — Volume 05" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a story set in the 1800s that explores the tough social life of the wealthy in England. Our main character, Mr. Pelham, spends his days navigating fancy parties and talks about big ideas like chasing dreams, enjoying food, and the deeper meaning of cooking. Early on, we see Pelham at a grand dinner party hosted by Lord Guloseton, full of chatter about food and philosophical ideas. Pelham shows off how much he cares about manners, enjoying good meals, and using his brain. But things get serious when Pelham gets a pressing message from his friend, Reginald Glanville, asking him to stand up to Sir John Tyrrell. This sets up a tense situation that clashes with Pelham's relaxed social life, mixing friendship, respect, and hidden dangers of how gentlemen were expected to act when challenged as well as humor.
