The Queer Feet: A Father Brown Mystery(1910)

G.K. Chesterton

Librarian's note: this entry is for the story "The Queer Feet." Collections of short stories by the author can be found elsewhere.

The Vernon Hotel has been the host for an annual dinner of a mixed collection of gentlemen called "The Twelve True Fishermen" for more than a decade. They wear green jackets and have an unusual reason for the colour - to avoid being mistaken for waiters, specifically the black-jacketed ones at their Vernon Hotel dinner. There's a criminal story behind the colour differentiation and a little priest, Father Brown, was involved. Deeply involved. (less)
