Plot
Fred Pickering, articled to a Manchester
attorney, found the law distasteful and, because he had had a few poems
printed, broke with his father, married a penniless girl and went to London where he hoped to
make his living by writing. He gave up his first position because he considered
it beneath his deserts and hunted in vain for a suitable one. A year later, his
funds completely exhausted, he appealed to his father for help and returned to Manchester with his wife
and baby, where he entered an attorney's office at thirty shillings a week.
