'Brooksmith' is a short story written by Henry James in 1891. The story is also present in a compilation of 50 Great Short Stories by Milton Crane

Plot[edit]

The narrator tells the story of Brooksmith, a butler he had once known. Brooksmith was responsible for the preservation of the atmosphere in a retired diplomat's salon where the guests (all male) enjoyed a high level of intellectual conversation with the diplomat and each other. Brooksmith was regarded by the narrator as 'the artist' who insured that the company at each gathering was the optimum number and mix of personalities to provide the highest level of conversation possible. This was partially of benefit to Brooksmith himself, who would linger in the room on some pretext or other in order to eavesdrop on the exchanges. The diplomat was well aware of this, and alluded to it on occasion with dryly humorous remarks. With the diplomat's death, Brooksmith loses his vocation, which to him was almost a calling. Brooksmith, lonely and dispirited, works a few odd jobs but falls into poverty and illness. At the end of the story, the narrator reveals that Brooksmith had disappeared, and implies that he may have committed suicide.

A sad and beautiful story about a human being that was a servant in the society divided by classes.
I was deeply touched by this story about an intellectually curious servant. I’m a big Downton Abbey fan which portrayed the many lives of the servants as well as the household. As in the Series, this short story provided a sad realism to lives that were separated by class in society and the inability of the lower classes to advance in society.

Brooksmith is quite a character! This short story engages the reader in Brooksmith’s life, its ups and down, its charm and mysteries. Henry James vivid style and the narrative in first person (through the perspective of one character) attract the reader. At the end, the reader will not be indifferent.
In the garden of society, some are showy flowers, some noble towering trees, and some shade-giving vines. All of these are welcome, but without certain others at work behind the scenes to prune, arrange, and cultivate, there’s no final pleasure of composition in the whole. This is a dated but effective portrait of an intellectually curious member of the serving class.
