The Serene Mr.Thomas Seduces a Confidant
A London hotel room rencontre features Mr Thomas proposing to steal £20000 from his firm. He explains life is worth the serene path and coerces the narrator to help by disguising himself, then quietly pockets the bag and plans to flee to France while urging calm and no police. The narrator resists, fearing arrest, as Mr Quad narrates the tale.

Amateur photographer Brings Cuban exile to freedom
In late 19th century New Orleans Wirt Ellsworth and Lotie Levan shared many images before Ellsworth moved to Cuba. When Ellsworth vanished amid political turmoil, Levan devised a daring plan using a homemade kodak to photograph his cell. Her ruse exposed his identity, enabling a U S consul to secure his release in Havana. Ellsworth later becomes a prominent Havana figure, and Levan becomes his wife Beatrice Tucker.

Which Was Richter
In 1883 at Konigsberg Germany a quiet Albert Richter vanished after quarreling with a young woman. Years later impostors claimed his identity, each failing to prove knowledge of the town and home. The real Richter returned from South Africa amid scrutiny, finally proving his identity after two years with proofs and Katrina brought from abroad.
