The Sorrows of Satan
Authorship not stated
You are Geoffrey Tempest, a rejected writer with no coal and rent due tomorrow, holding three unopened letters. One brings fifty pounds from an old friend; the second, a solicitor's notice that a dead stranger has left you five million pounds; the third announces a visitor, Prince Lucio Rimanez, who arrives and finds you sitting in the dark rather than admit your poverty. He treats your reversal as amusement, not rescue, and offers his hand toward a life you have not decided whether to trust.
