Benevolence repaid. On Christmas Eve an earnest street-beggar's sincerity extracts a shilling from the narrator along with his card. A year later, fallen on hard times himself through mining speculations, the narrator is sought by the beggar who has become rich. He repays the shilling with a thrashing - the shilling had been counterfeit ... Humour of incongruity. (PB)
