Burdettess Conceits and the Axe as a Moral Tool
A fragmentary excerpt blends a moral essay on self discipline with anecdotes about gamblers and high rollers. It cites a man who once worked a campfire and the allure of gambling, referencing Tiffany & Co. and notable players who died poor. The voice recalls a suite of vivid vignettes, including a price record for a painting and the fates of former fortunes, ending with a tale of a destitute, starving observer.
