The Man in Black A Dick Ryder Tale
A first person narrator recounts a dangerous night ride from Liphook to Petersfield with a varied coach company. The mysterious man in black, a potential highwayman named Dick Ryder, and a band of travelers confront threats as snow and fear rise. The narrator uses wit and bravado to survive a trap by highwaymen and reclaim jewels and purses. He ends with the party dispersing in the night.
