Tono-Bungay
Authorship not stated
You play George, sent by your mother to find out what happened to the money she trusted to her brother-in-law's London pharmacy. Uncle Edward offers excuses instead of accounts, and marches you past Park Lane to explain what strategy looks like from outside those windows. Back behind lowered blinds, he unveils the scheme itself: Tono-Bungay, a name built to sound ancient and scientific, attached to a bottle that promises recovery rather than containing it. A creditor is already at the shutter when he finishes explaining.
