About this listen

 First released in 1893, Coffee and Repartee invites you into the lively breakfast conversations at a gentlemens boarding house run by the formidable Mrs. Smithers. Here, a group of residents engage in spirited debates, often fueled by the provocative inquiries of a character they affectionately refer to as The Idiot. Beneath the veneer of camaraderie lies a battleground of sharp wit and clever charm, interspersed with jarring remarks that reflect a bygone era of supposed refinement. As The Idiot holds his own, will the other residents manage to outsmart him? (Summary by Morlock)
