The Absent-Minded Coterie

The Absent-Minded Coterie is a novel written by Robert Barr. The story revolves around a group of absent-minded individuals who form a coterie, or a close-knit group. The members of the coterie are all eccentric in their own way, and their forgetfulness often leads to humorous situations. The main character, Henry Pulling, is a retired bank manager who is pulled into the coterie by his cousin, the flamboyant Aunt Augusta. Together, they embark on a series of adventures that take them across Europe, from Paris to Istanbul. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a Turkish smuggler and a French prostitute. As the group travels, they become embroiled in various schemes and plots, all while trying to keep track of their own forgetful tendencies. The Absent-Minded Coterie is a witty and entertaining novel that explores the quirks and foibles of human nature.""You are a very, very clever man, Monsieur Valmont, so all I need say is that the question which brought me here is the same as that on which the American election was fought. Now, to a countryman, I should be compelled to give further explanation, but to you, monsieur, that will not be necessary.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
