Summary "The Sin of Monsieur Pettipon" by Richard Edward Connell is a collection of humorous tales written in the early 20th century. The stories explore the misadventures and quirks of various characters, with a focus on everyday life and the absurdities that accompany it. The lead tale introduces Monsieur Alphonse Marie Louis Camille Pettipon, a devoted steward aboard a luxury liner who becomes embroiled in a comedic crisis over a mysterious creature found in one of the cabins. The opening of the collection presents a detailed look at Monsieur Pettipon as he meticulously attends to his duties with pride and artistic fervor, reflecting his ambition to improve his social status and provide for his son’s musical aspirations. However, his day takes a disastrous turn when he encounters a disgruntled passenger claiming to have found an unwanted creature in his cabin. Throughout this initial story, Pettipon’s internal struggles and humorous attempts to salvage his reputation unfold, highlighting the clash between his artistic aspirations and the reality of his situation while establishing a tone filled with wit and charm.
