Itinerant tale of a debt repaid by kindness and pride
Eva Sterne, poor and living with her sick mother, begs Mr. Miner to settle her father’s debt. Miner, moved by her plea and her father’s honor, arranges full settlement and grants a receipt for ninety five dollars. The widow and Eva rejoice, grateful for the unexpected mercy, while Miner reflects on Christian charity.
