It is equally the story of Colonel Newcome's son, Clive, who studies and travels for the purpose of becoming a painter, although the profession is frowned on by some of his relatives and acquaintances ー notably Clive's snobbish, backstabbing cousin Barnes Newcome.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Colonel Newcome goes out to India for decades, then returns to England where Clive meets his cousin Ethel. After years in England, the colonel returns to India for another several years and while he is there, Clive travels Europe and his love for Ethel waxes and wanes. Dozens of background characters appear, fade, and reappear.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The colonel and Clive are only the central figures in The Newcomes, the action of which begins before the colonel's birth.
