Martin Chuzzlewit
Authorship not stated
You are young Martin Chuzzlewit, arriving broke at the Blue Dragon Inn after your grandfather cut you off for refusing to give up the woman you love. Mark Tapley greets you with rough cheer and turns your case's initials from view, then stays when Seth Pecksniff — who takes you as an unpaid pupil, then drops you the moment your grandfather objects — throws you back into the sleet. By morning a handbill for cheap passage to America is the only prospect left, with one night to choose between it and surrender.
