In Slopperton the mist of murder fades as summer bakes streets and factories. Mrs Marwood’s vast wealth feeds charity rumors while the town groans under heat and rising prices. Dr Tappenden’s party closes a term and Jabez remains calm as the holiday spreads.
In a twilight study of ambition Jabez wanders from a shabby schoolroom to the dim streets of Slopperton seeking a plan to wealth. He contemplates theft as a path to riches while the town’s old houses and Blind Peter's Alley frame his solitary night walk.
In a trial a prisoner is found not guilty by reason of insanity after evidence showed brain fever years earlier. The judge charges, the jury returns in minutes, and the prisoner, amid reaction, proclaims gratitude to the jury and claims a Napoleonic identity while the court notes common fantasies of lunacy.
