Violence and the Widow in a 1911 tale
The story centers on Clyde Vernon, a sculptor, and Mrs. Coleman a wealthy widow who had avoided violence but finds herself drawn into danger when a knife-wielding Italian targets her. Vernon stops the threat with a punch to the attacker’s jaw, and Coleman revels in the notion of a protector who can physically defend her.
