E-text prepared by Annie McGuire
"Mrs. Raffles: Being the Adventures of an Amateur Crackswoman" by John Kendrick Bangs is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Bunny, the former accomplice of the illustrious burglar A.J. Raffles, who, after a series of misfortunes, finds himself entangled in the intrigue and escapades of Henriette, the widow of his old friend. Together, they navigate a world of socialites and heists, where witticism and charm become their most valuable assets. The opening of the narrative introduces Bunny, who is in dire financial straits after the death of Raffles. Reflecting on his unfortunate situation, he stumbles upon a personal ad from Henriette, leading him to believe that she is seeking his presence for unknown reasons. As Bunny grapples with his past and his current predicament, he conjures a plan to travel to Newport to reconnect with Henriette. The excitement builds as Bunny addresses his determination to reinvent himself, all while maintaining the humorous tone that characterizes this whimsical take on crime and adventure.
