AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Tale of conscience and death. A rich merchant is visited by the man whose money he had used to enrich himself years before - and sees the poverty and death his theft had brought to his former partner's family. The confrontation kills him - though it is from a fit rather than his visitor who is actually an illusion of his own guilty thoughts. (PB)
