humble beginnings with his newfound social standing.

As he returns to London, Samuel is filled with hope and expectations of fortune and social elevation, dreaming of a handsome gift that might come his way. However, he is met with the humor and absurdity of his aunt’s actual present: an ornate locket meant to symbolize his connection to his uncle, rather than cash.
