AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A kindly and successful gentleman and gold miner calls in at a poor hut on his way home for his daughter's wedding. He shows the occupants his gold and promises to return and show the master of the house a good spot for digging. He is murdered for his kindness and the returned banished son is nearly tried for the crime through the possession of gold of his own - but it is his father's deed he is protecting. Interesting mix of kindness and domesticity with horror and violence. (PB)
