Summary "You Should Worry Says John Henry" by George V. Hobart is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around John Henry and his adventures, commonly narrated through a series of comical social situations and misadventures that take place primarily in the context of his interactions with friends and family. The light-hearted tone suggests a satirical take on social norms, relationships, and the humorous complexities of modern life. The opening of the narrative introduces John Henry and his friend Bunch Jefferson as they plan to impress their peers with their newly acquired Tango skills, despite their complete inexperience. Their scheme takes a comedic turn as they blindly prepare for a party, intending to teach their curious friends the trendy dance. Throughout this portion, conversations with spouses and guests reveal playful banter and the lightheartedness of their social circle, laying the groundwork for the ensuing misadventures. The humorous depiction of the couple's interactions, along with the characters they encounter, hints at a delightful exploration of societal expectations and romantic dilemmas.
