Boy from Misery Trades Shadows for New York Life
A troubled youth known as Samson travels from Misery to New York with a deathly gaze from watchers in tow. In Manhattan he finds shelter with painter Lescott, who guides him toward painting and discipline while Samson confronts threats from spies and contemplates a future balancing art, honor, and resistance to wealth’s pull. Adrienne Lescott probes Wilfred’s readiness to shed privilege and join a more purposeful life.

It humorously tracks the financial drain of a gallon of whisky, the accumulating debt, and the wife’s eventual use of the proceeds to support herself and educated children, ending with a mock obituary note.
