About This Book

Three lodgers quarrel after a prank and one leaves in pride, later returning to find his bed let to a stranger; forced to sleep on the floor, he spots the newcomer stealing from the others, pursues and forces a recovery of a watch, chain and cash, and then conceals his advantage behind a show of sympathy while the other two lament their loss.
