Synopsis
Excerpt from The Boss of Little Arcady
I think we conceded this, in silence, be it under stood, for Westley is respected. But we looked to Solon for a more tenuous subtlety.
Nor did he fail us. Two days later Potts upon the public street actually announced his early departure from Little Arcady.
To know how pleasing an excitement this created one should know more about Potts. It will have been inferred that he was objectionable. For the fact, he was Objectionable in every way: as a human being, a man, a citizen, a member of. The Slocum County bar, and a veteran of our late civil conflict. He was shiftless, untidy, a borrower, a pompous braggart, a trouble-maker, forever driving some poor devil into senseless litigation. Moreover, he was blithely unscrupulous in his dealings with the Court, his clients, his brother-attorneys, and his fellow-men at large. When I add that he was given to spells of hard drinking, during which he became obnoxious beyond the wildest possible dreams of that quality, it will be seen that we of Little Arcady were not without reason for wishing him away.

Rodney Potts and the amusing, unpredictable events that follow after a local newspaper publishes a satirical article about him. Potts, an eccentric attorney, is mistakenly believed to be an upstanding citizen by the townsfolk, who decide to help him leave their town gracefully with letters of recommendation and a sum of money. However, Potts takes the opportunity to exploit their goodwill, embarking on a drunken spree financed by the very people who intended to get rid of him. The book delves into the absurdity of the situation, exploring themes of small-town gossip, mob mentality, and the unexpected ways in which human nature can manifest.
