520			_a"Coffee and Repartee" by John Kendrick Bangs is a collection of comedic writings likely crafted in the late 19th century. Set primarily in a boarding house for gentlemen, the narrative showcases interactions among quirky characters as they navigate their daily lives with humor and wit, with a standout character known as the Idiot, who often provides absurd yet insightful commentary. The opening of the work introduces the daily breakfast gathering at Mrs. Smithers's boarding house, filled with an assortment of eccentric residents, including the School-master, the Minister, and the Bibliomaniac. The conversation unfolds with humorous banter about umbrellas and absent-mindedness, revealing the personalities and dynamic among the characters. The Idiot frequently interjects with clever remarks that highlight both his apparent folly and unexpected wisdom, setting the tone for the witty repartee that characterizes the interactions within the boarding house. Overall, the beginning establishes a playful atmosphere brimming with lighthearted comedy, inviting readers to enjoy the characters' amusing exchanges. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
