Little Lord Fauntleroy
Authorship not stated
You are Cedric Errol, at home behind the counter of Mr Hobbs's New York grocery, debating lords and republics with your friend Dick, when a lawyer named Havisham arrives at your mother's door with sealed papers. Your father's family, it turns out, is the Earl of Dorincourt's — and with both elder sons dead, you are the heir, summoned to England on Saturday's steamship. You bargain for your mother to come too, then carry the news to the friends you may be leaving, purse untouched, still yourself.
