Amid burning violence the Fire King’s battalions assault city walls as a crowd streams to the church of St. Michael’s seeking sanctuary. Will and his partner stride through the chaos planning work as a Mexican cripple delivers a cryptic message to a tired patron.
A long narrative follows George G Lake, a New York merchant born in Connecticut. He starts as a two-dollar-a-week errand boy on St Catherine Street, rises to silk department head, agrees to four years at eight dollars weekly, then becomes indispensable, joins the owning firm, and retires wealthy. The piece also includes assorted African proverbs, moral counsels, nursing maxims, temperance pushes, and a promotional note for the Maxworp Cyclopaedia.
