Features: Charles Putter is a small office clerk, diligent and conscientious, yet content: he has a new home in the suburbs; his boss treats him well; his wife is deeply in love with him; and he has two "not-so-fond" neighborhood friends. With his ambitions in mind, old Putter starts keeping a diary, naturally filled with trivial matters, the daily grind of life, nothing new under the sun. Occasionally, he gets the chance to attend gatherings of the upper class, where things get chaotic and he makes a fool of himself, but old Putter doesn’t mind. His goal in life is to become a decent gentleman, and of course, he did achieve it—his efforts were not in vain.
