The Absent-Minded Coterie is a novel written by Robert Barr. The book follows the story of a group of friends who call themselves the Absent-Minded Coterie. The group consists of four men who are all absent-minded in their own way. The main character of the book is Mr. Peters, a wealthy man who is forgetful and absent-minded. The other members of the coterie include Mr. Bouncer, a man who is always losing things, Mr. Jinks, a man who is always getting lost, and Mr. Muddle, a man who is always confused.The book begins with the coterie meeting at Mr. Peters' house to discuss their latest project, a book they are writing together. However, they quickly get sidetracked and end up discussing various topics, including a recent murder in the town. The group decides to investigate the murder themselves, and their absent-mindedness leads them on a series of hilarious misadventures.Throughout the book, the coterie's absent-mindedness causes them to get into all sorts of trouble, including getting lost in the woods, mistaking people for murderers, and even accidentally starting a fire. Despite their many mishaps, the coterie manages to solve the murder case and finish their book.The Absent-Minded Coterie is a humorous and lighthearted novel that will appeal to readers who enjoy witty dialogue, quirky characters, and a good mystery. The book is well-written and engaging, with a fast-paced plot that keeps the reader entertained from beginning to end. Overall, it is a delightful read that is sure to put a smile on your face.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.
