Alfred Jones ,an Englishman living in Switzerland marries the daughter of the very wealthy, Doctor Fischer. Fischer is known for throwing parties where the guests are subject to ritual humiliation which they endure to be able to receive the very expensive gifts at the completion of the dinner.
The guests are wealthy in their own right but keep returning out of greed.
This carries on through a series of dinners until the rather obvious conclusion.
Not a great Greene, anyone with half a clue knows human greed has no bounds. Greene has an incredible body of work so leave this until the very end
