The Charity of Bertram Wolt
Bertram Wolt, owner of a small furniture factory in Melford, passes a harsh test of character when Harry Martin, a trusted employee, steals from the office. Martin confesses, hoping to force a firing and lawsuit, but Wolt declines to press charges and keeps him on. The tale contrasts Wolt’s frugal, ruthless business streak with a moment of unexpected mercy.
