Cobb is a humorous work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a whimsical fancy-dress party where adults dress up as children, creating a playful and chaotic atmosphere. The narrative explores themes of social interactions, identity, and the absurdities of adult behavior in a unique and lighthearted manner. The plot follows the character Algernon Leary, who has a particularly eventful evening culminating in a series of misadventures after leaving the party. His encounter with a drunken taxi driver leads to an unfortunate mugging, leaving him dressed in a rather ridiculous children's costume while trying to navigate the streets of New York City. As he attempts to find refuge, he inadvertently becomes the center of attention and hilarity, facing both comical and embarrassing situations. Ultimately, the story serves as a delightful exploration of the intrinsic silliness of life and the social dynamics present at gatherings, all while delivering a sense of laughter and lightheartedness.
