Open Country: A Comedy with a Sting is a novel written by Maurice Hewlett. The book tells the story of two young men, Dick and Peter, who embark on a journey through the English countryside. Along the way, they encounter a variety of interesting characters, including a group of gypsies, a wealthy landowner, and a beautiful young woman named Phyllis. As they travel further, the two friends begin to realize that the idyllic countryside is not as peaceful as it seems, and that there are hidden dangers lurking around every corner. With a mix of humor and suspense, Open Country is a delightful read that will keep you guessing until the very end.1909. Hewlett, English novelist, poet and essayist best known for his historical romances and travel books, begins Open Country: The name of Thomas Welbore Percival was soundly respected in the city of London. It stood for a turnover of fifteen thousand pounds, and a private income of at least six thousand a year. It centered in the person of a rosy-gilled, full-waistcoated gentleman of middle life-Mr. Percival was five-and-fifty and admitted it-to whom a joke was dear, and not less dear because its scope and measurements were accurately known.
