<h3> FOREWORD </h3> <p>As far as this book is concerned, the public may Take It, or the public may Let It Alone. But the authors feel it their duty to say that no deductions as to their own private habits are to be made from the story here offered. With its composition they have beguiled the moments of the valley of the shadow.</p> <p>Acknowledgement should be made to the Evening Public Ledger of Philadelphia for permission to reprint the ditty included in Chapter VI.</p> <p>The public will forgive this being only a brief preface, for at the moment of writing the time is short. Wishing you a Merry Abstinence, and looking forward to meeting you some day in Europe,</p> <P CLASS="noindent"> CHRISTOPHER MORLEY, BART HALEY. <br/> Philadelphia, Ten minutes before Midnight, June 30, 1919.</p> <br/><br/><br/> <h2> TABLE OF CONTENTS </h2> <table ALIGN="center" WIDTH="80%"> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">I.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap01">MYSTERY OF THE UNEXPECTED JULEP</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">II.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap02">THE HOUSE ON CARAWAY STREET</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">III.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap03">INCIDENT OF THE GOOSEBERRY BOMBS</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">IV.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap04">THE GREAT WAR BEGINS</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">V.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap05">THE TREACHERY OF MISS CHUFF</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">VI.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap06">DEPARTED SPIRITS</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">VII.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap07">THE DECANTERBURY PILGRIMS</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">VIII.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap08">WITH BENEFIT OF CLERGY</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">IX.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap09">THE ELECTION</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">X.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap10">E PLURIBUS UNUM!</SPAN></td> </tr> <tr> <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">XI.  </td> <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <SPAN HREF="#chap11">IT'S A LONG WORM THAT HAS NO TURNING</SPAN></td> </tr> </table> <br/><br/><br/> <h1> IN THE SWEET DRY AND DRY </h1> <br/> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
