Webster is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Jack Allen, who lives under the strict care of Professor Klopper while his parents are away on a trip. Tired of his guardian's harsh treatment and longing for fun, Jack decides to escape his confines and sneak out to attend a local vaudeville show, setting off a series of adventurous challenges as he fends for himself. The opening portion introduces us to Jack's strained relationship with Professor Klopper, who emphasizes discipline over enjoyment. Jack's fleeting dreams of attending the vaudeville show and finding friends turn into rebellion when he sells his catching glove to buy a ticket. His determination to enjoy life and break free from the professor's rule leads him to sneak out, prompting fear and excitement. Faced with adversity, including a false accusation from Professor Klopper regarding a stolen gold cup, Jack ultimately opts to run away, becoming determined to chart his own course despite numerous challenges that lie ahead.
