"Berry and Co." by Dornford Yates is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows a cast of characters, including Berry, his wife Daphne, and their companions, as they navigate humorous situations and misadventures, centered around themes of friendship, love, and the interplay of class during post-World War I England. At the start of the story, we see Berry reluctantly preparing to go to church at his sister Daphne's insistence. The scene is set on a lovely summer day, where the group banters about their activities and showcases their interpersonal dynamics. Later, while at church, Berry discovers that their prized Rolls-Royce has been stolen. This incident sets off a chain of events involving chase, mistaken identities, and encounters with various characters, including a girl named Agatha. The opening portion deftly combines humor and light-hearted adventure as tensions rise and friendships are tested. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
