The Penny Saved and a Life Lost in Vanity
A long moral tale contrasts Franklin's thrift with lavish living. Edward Gordon chooses beggar danger and saloons over prudence, while Harry warns of ruin. The tale ends with Gordon's funeral debt, a sobering lesson on self restraint and Providence. The piece then shifts to a London murder trial with painter George Hammond defending himself after killing a mountebank, claiming sorrow over his lost daughter and a single fatal act. Not Guilty verdict follows and crowds cheer Hammond’s release.
