Project Gutenberg 2015-02-04 Public domain in the USA. 99 Baring-Gould, S. (Sabine) 1834 1924 Baring-Gould, Sabine Gould, Sabine Baring Gould, S. Baring The Pennycomequicks, Volume 1 (of 3) Produced by Al Haines "The Pennycomequicks, Volume 1 (of 3)" by S. Baring-Gould is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the Pennycomequick family, particularly focusing on Mrs. Sidebottom, her son Captain Lambert Pennycomequick, and Uncle Jeremiah Pennycomequick, blending elements of comedy and drama as they navigate family dynamics, societal expectations, and personal ambitions. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Mrs. Siddy-bot-TOME, who is consumed with thoughts of her financial prospects tied to her wealthy brother, Jeremiah, while simultaneously critiquing societal pretensions around class and naming. As Mrs. Sidebottom and her son contemplate their precarious financial situation and the potential inheritance from Uncle Jeremiah, tension arises from personal aspirations and family relationships. Ideas surrounding aging, expectations of relatives, and the humorous portrayal of social ambitions set the tone for the narrative, culminating in a foreshadowing disaster with a sudden flood, which propels the story in an unexpected direction and raises the stakes for the characters involved.
