A Start in Life

A comic novel in which an intrigue about property serves as the excuse for a trip in a public diligence, where a group of people try to mystify each other with strange tales of their lives. At the conclusion of the trip, one of the seemingly least important characters turns out to be the main subject of the novel; there are some other largely comic scenes and the novel ends with about the same cast of characters on the same route many years later.
