Summary "Odd Numbers" by Sewell Ford is a comedic novel written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a sequel to "Shorty McCabe" and features the continuing escapades of the main character, Shorty McCabe, who navigates the colorful and quirky landscape of New York City. Throughout the story, readers are introduced to a variety of eccentric characters and humorous situations, which highlight the absurdities of urban life. At the start of the book, we meet Shorty McCabe, who reflects on his encounters with lost tourists in New York City while observing an outrageous hat in a millinery shop. The scene within the hat shop introduces us to Goliah Daggett, an endearing but socially inept man from Iowa, who is on a mission to buy a hat for his deceased wife, Marthy. Daggett's poignant story unveils his emotional attachment to this gesture, revealing a mix of humor and sentimentality as he seeks a hat reminiscent of what his wife might have desired. This odd premise sets the stage for the humorous misadventures that follow in the bustling and whimsical world surrounding Shorty and his companions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
