In Toppleton’s Client, young Hopkins Toppleton Jr. is sent to London to run a law office—one that was never meant to have actual clients. But when an unexpected case lands on his desk, his ambition and eccentricity lead him into a series of absurd, comedic misadventures. Filled with dry wit, satirical humor, and a touch of the supernatural, this lesser-known gem from John Kendrick Bangs is a delightful legal farce that keeps readers entertained from start to finish.
