Alick McLeod and the Fateful Debt at Avon Hill
In a late 19th century tale, Alick McLeod earns a desk at Carstock Iron Works with Uncle Peter’s help but is drawn into risky loans. He signs as security for Blantyre’s bill, faces ruin when the sum swells to £50 then £100, and loses trust, love, and status. He returns home to face family sorrow, contemplates America, and finally chooses to prove himself anew with his uncle’s aid and Margaret’s steadfast concern.
