Librivox recording of The Card by Arnold Bennett.Read by Andy Minter.
The \u2018Card\u2019 in question is Edward Henry Machin - His mother called him \u2018Denry\u2019. This light-hearted story is of his rise from humble beginnings as the son of a washerwoman and sempstress in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, in the pottery towns (which Arnold Bennett christened \u2018The Five Towns\u2019) of the English Midlands; how, by his own wits, enterprise and \u2018nerve\u2019 he rose to wealth, married bliss and public recognition as the youngest-ever mayor of his home town.
\u201c\u2019And yet,\u2019 demanded Councillor Barlow, \u2018what\u2019s he done? What great cause is he identified with?\u2019
\u2018He\u2019s identified,\u2019 said the speaker, \u2018with the great cause of cheering us all up\u2019.\u201d (summary by Andy Minter)
