In The Sweet Dry And Dry by Christopher Morley is a humorous novel that follows the story of a group of wealthy friends who make a bet to see who can abstain from alcohol for a year. The catch is that the winner will receive a large sum of money from the losers. The group includes a politician, a banker, a philosopher, and a writer, among others, and they all embark on the challenge with varying degrees of success.As the year progresses, the group faces a series of challenges and temptations, from social events to personal struggles with addiction. Along the way, they learn about themselves and each other, and discover the true meaning of friendship and loyalty.Morley's witty and engaging writing style makes for a fun and entertaining read, while also tackling deeper themes of addiction, morality, and the nature of human relationships. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and readers will find themselves rooting for their favorites to come out on top.Overall, In The Sweet Dry And Dry is a charming and thought-provoking novel that will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good story with a healthy dose of humor and heart.If Bishop Chuff desired to make people stop thinking about alcohol, his plan of seizing them and shutting them up in the grounds of the Federal Home at Cana was a quaint way of attaining this purpose. For all the victims, who had been suddenly arrested in the course of their daily concerns, accused (before a rum-head court martial) of harboring illicit alcoholic desires, and driven over to Cana in crowded motor-trucks, now had very little else to brood about. In the golden light and fragrance of a summer afternoon, here they were surrounded by all the apparatus to restrain alcoholic excess, and not even the slightest exhilaration of spirit to justify the depressing scene.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
