The Last Man
Authorship not stated
You are Lionel, poaching in the new Earl's Cumberland park out of resentment more than hunger: your father once appealed to the family for help and was never answered, and the men who inherited that wealth still live above your poverty. Keepers catch you, forget the Earl's order against violence, and you draw blood defending yourself. Then you finally meet Adrian himself, not the proud enemy you expected but a man who silences his own servants and produces the sealed letter proving your father's appeal was lost, never refused.
