Now there are various and different kinds of worries. There are the worries of the heart, of the mind and of the purse. There are worries great, and worries small. There are worries real and worries imaginary, Mr. Slipaway sworries partook of all varieties and kinds. They were of every shade and complexion. And as every worry breeds another, so ten breeds ten until a few original worries become an ever growing host.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a whimsical and satirical take on the anxieties and aspirations of a young man struggling to navigate the complexities of early 20th-century American life. The narrative follows the hapless Horatio Slipaway, an unassuming bookkeeper whose life is thrown into disarray by a series of mishaps, including a potential breach of promise lawsuit, mounting debt, and a clerical error that costs his employer a considerable sum. The author uses Horatio's plight as a springboard to explore the social anxieties and moral dilemmas that plagued men of the era, particularly those caught between the perceived freedom of modern life and the strictures of societal expectations. Through witty dialogue and sharp observation, the book reveals the humor and absurdity of Horatio's predicament as he grapples with the weight of his perceived failures and dreams of escaping his identity altogether. Ultimately, this book offers a unique glimpse into the anxieties and aspirations of a particular time, reminding us that the search for personal fulfillment can be as humorous as it is unsettling.
