Dodo was so much interested in what she had herself been saying, that having just lit one cigarette, she lit another at it, and now contemplated the two with a dazed expression. She was talking to Edith Arbuthnot, who had just returned from a musical tour in Germany, where she had conducted a dozen concerts consisting entirely of her own music with flaring success. She had been urged by her agent to give half a dozen more, the glory of which, he guaranteed, would completely eclipse that of the first series, but instead she had come back to England. She did not quite know why she had done so: her husband Bertie had sent the most cordial message to say that he and their daughter Madge were getting on quite excellently without her-indeed that seemed rather unduly stressed-but ... here she was.

I finished reading it in 3 sessions and thank my friend for bringing EF Benson to my attention. I like his clear style and good English. While apparently ‘light’, the book also has a profundity. It is set in London and at a two other places in regional England in the lead up to the 1st World War and then during it. Maybe it is because I am also reading Plato’s Dialogues at this time as well, but in Dodo’s Wonders Benson has Dodo in several long dialogues with characters who have a point of view just as Plato has Socrates have conversations with ‘known names’ whose public status entails that they represent a ‘type’ with an expected position.

With Dodo as a Marchioness social butterfly air head Benson has her go through a questioning and fumbling and success in social responsibility. Much of the book has Dodo in long dialogues with characters-as-types that posit life-as-lived and its meaning and responsibility and a moral position and social behaviour. I haven’t determined if the positions are ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in the morally goodness scheme or ‘right’ or ‘left’ in the politically moral spectrum, but the positions a honestly explored. ( )

She had been urged by her agent to give half a dozen more, the glory of which, he guaranteed, would completely eclipse that of the first series, but instead she had come back to England.
