The Emerald Ring and the Driftwood Miner
On a Detroit veranda in a sultry evening, Thomas Cranborne, a young mining engineer nicknamed a copper man, negotiates the exchange of a massive emerald ring said to bring fortune. Fielding possesses the jewel, a gift from Burma, and Cranborne offers a thousand dollars for it. The tale follows the ring’s lure and Cranborne’s experiment with superstition, wealth, and fate, with Michigan ties and a Chicago move in later chapters.
