Written in 1922, The Lucky One is the story of the Farringdon brothers. Younger brother Gerald is the idol of the family – intelligent, handsome, and gifted at all that he attempts. Elder brother Bob is in every way less impressive, something he is bitterly conscious of. In any other family his accomplished would be impressive, but not when compared with Gerald’s. As one character cheerfully remarks, “whatever the elder one does, the younger one does a jolly sight better.” When the play begins, we discover that Gerald is engaged to Miss Pamela Carey, who had been Bob’s girl but transferred her affections after meeting Gerald. “Gerald,” the narrator usefully tells us, “carried her off her feet a month ago, but it is a question if he really touched her heart – a heart moved more readily by pity than by love.” Well, my friends, there is only one brother likely to stir pity in the heart of onlookers and it is not the oft-worshipped Gerald.
