Leone 1885 1937 The Just and the Unjust E-text prepared by Rick Niles, Charlie Kirschner, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Just and the Unjust" by Vaughan Kester is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in small-town America and introduces the lives and complexities of its inhabitants, focusing on characters such as the lamplighter Custer Shrimplin and his father, Mr. Shrimplin, as well as John North, who is grappling with personal crises. The book seems to explore themes of morality, mistakes, and the consequences of one's choices, juxtaposed against a backdrop filled with relational dynamics and social commentary. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Custer Shrimplin, who finds joy in listening to his father recount tales of his adventurous past while they go about their Sunday routines. Mr. Shrimplin, a small-town lamplighter, reminisces about his earlier, more daring years, much to Custer's fascination but also in stark contrast to his mother's practical concerns. As the narrative unfolds, there is a sense of underlying tension and mystery, especially highlighted by the ominous events surrounding the character of John North, who is facing the consequences of his past actions. This opening portion sets the stage for a narrative that promises intrigue and moral dilemmas interwoven with the everyday lives of its characters.
